Library of Wales: Dai Country by Alun Richards

Cast a baleful eye on the personal relationships and social ambitions of the inhabitants of Dai Country. In this volume, the best of the author's short stories are combined with his autobiographical memoir Days of Absence to take us to the core of those incomparable valleys, with their lived experience stripped bare of cliche and sentiment.
"The fiction establishes him as the supreme chronicler of (post-war) South Wales valley life.. and his fascinating account of his upbringing in English-speaking Pontypridd... raises questions about the complex plurality of modern Wales which still command serious attention." The New Companion to the Literature of Wales (1998)
