Library of Wales: The Caves of Alienation by Stuart Evans
At the centre of Stuart Evans's ambitious and enthralling novel is Michael Caradock, a well-known writer whose life has ended violently on an isolated Welsh island. The circumstances of his death are mysterious, but then his whole life and work are subjects of controversy. Are his work and death connected, and if so, on what level? -- Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru
Stuart Evans was born in Swansea in 1934 and brought up at Ystalyfera in Glamorgan. He read English at Jesus College, Oxford. After service in the Royal Navy, he taught at Brunel College of Advanced Technology and, from the mid 1960’s, worked for BBC Radio in London as a producer in the Schools Broadcasting Department. It was as a novelist that he established his reputation, with eight long, technically complex novels which are more inclined to the philosophical than is usual in English fiction. They include Meritocrats (1974), The Gardens of the Casino (1976), The Caves of Alienation (1977), and a quintet known as The Windmill Hill Sequence. He also published two volumes of verse, Imaginary Gardens with Real Toads (1972) and The Function of the Foal (1997). He died in 1994.
