| Description: |
Offers the underlying meaning of South Wales' history. This title, with its plural narration, presents a choric commentary on human illusion and knowledge, on power and its attendant deprivation, on dreams and their destruction. It is History as Carnival and a comic vision of humanity that recognises no geographical boundaries. |
| Synopsis: |
The Alone to the Alone unites Gwyn Thomas's lyrical and philosophical flights of narrative in a satire whose savagery is only relieved by irrepressible laughter. It is Gwyn Thomas' most shaped work: the underlying meaning of South Wales' history is not so much documented as laid bare for universal dissection and dissemination. The novel, with its distinctive plural narration, is a choric commentary on human illusion and knowledge, on power and its attendant deprivation, on dreams and their destruction. |
