Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
Grace, Tamar and Laszlo the Beautiful by Deborah Kay Davies
Part novel, part fantasy, part social history. More than anything it tells dark, universal tales about how utterly strange it is to learn to be human. -- Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru
“Deborah Kay Davies has achieved something rare: a collection of stories wherein each story is complete in its own right (many were competition winners or radio broadcasts) but which also work together as a novella-length sequence” -- The Independent
Deborah Kay Davies’ latest novel Reasons She Goes to the Woods (Oneworld) was long-listed for the 2014 Bailey’s Women’s Fiction prize and short-listed for the 2015 Encore award. In her review for The Guardian, Eimear McBride described the novel as ‘exquisite…to be marvelled at’. After the publication of her debut novel True Things About Me (Canongate, 2010), the BBC TV Culture Show named her as one of the 12 best new British novelists. When the novel came out in New York (Faber, 2011) Lionel Shriver in The Wall Street Journal chose it as her personal Book of the Year. Deborah’s first work of fiction was a collection of short stories Grace, Tamar and Laszlo the Beautiful (Parthian) which won the Wales Book of the Year award for 2009. Her very first book was a collection of poems Things You Think I Don’t Know (Parthian, 2006). She started writing when she was a mature student at Cardiff University, where she earned a PhD in Creative and Critical Writing and taught Creative Writing.
