Aber Essays on Aberystwyth

Aber Essays on Aberystwyth by Various

There may be several 'abers' in Wales, but one Aber stands alone.This 'end-of-the-line' town has so many different faces to show us; as a town of books, it is a bohemian hotbed of learning - home to the National Library of Wales and Aberystwyth University. But it is also a traditional seaside town beloved of lively kiss-me-quick holidaymakers and sober Sunday-school trippers alike. A town of chips and cheap lager, of delis and gourmet grub, the pier and Penglais, the prom and Pen Dinas. Aber is a kaleidescope - or should that be 'collide-a-scope'? of experience.In six contrasting essays, some of Wales's best writers explore their relationship with Aberystwyth, and in so doing, raise the curtain on many aspects that make this town unique. Keith Morris's vivid and striking photographs are the uniting force which complement and augment these stories from a small town with big ideas. Here is a 'present from Aberystwyth' with a difference!

Morris, Keith: - Keith Morris is an icon of American hardcore music. He is a cofounding member of Black Flag, the most recognizable name in West Coast punk rock, and the Circle Jerks, which cemented his reputation at the forefront of hardcore vocalists. He has recorded over fifteen albums, appeared on countless albums and compilations, and has a half-dozen film credits to his name. The intensity of the music produced by his latest bands OFF! and FLAG are equal to his best work from the '70s, '80s, and '90s and add to a legendary career that is still being carved out one gig at a time. A native of California, he has lived in Los Feliz for over twenty years.
