Owen Sheers and Russell Celyn Jones talk to Jon Gower
Fiction: Myths
Hay Festival 2010,
In White Ravens and The Ninth Wave the two Welsh writers re-imagine stories from the Mabinogion.
“Celyn-Jones' The Ninth Wave transports us to a post-climate change feudal world...a tense and evocative piece of work that maintains the fine tradition of Welsh myth-making.” The Big Issue
“Sheers makes his 20th century setting sing but holds on the otherworldliness of his source material…A spellbinding fable about male self-destructiveness and the effects of war on those who return home.” Financial Times
