Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
The best of contemporary Welsh short-story writing, Seren New Welsh Short Stories 2015 offers a wide-ranging view of a country from new and established writers including Stevie Davies, Trezza Azzopardi, Joe Dunthorne, Owen Sheers, Cynan Jones, Deborah Kay Davies and Rachel Trezise. Stories range from the personal to the universal; from the streets of urban south Wales to the wilder reaches of small town and countryside; from film sets to the limits of time and space.
