Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
SHORTLISTED FOR THE DYLAN THOMAS PRIZE 2024. SHORTLISTED FOR THE POLARI FIRST BOOK AWARD 2024.

From the inertia of living in an ex-industrial working-class area, to gender, sexuality, toxic masculinity and neurodivergence, Jones has crafted a collection versatile in theme and observation, as the misadventures of the town's inhabitants threaten to spill over into an incendiary finale. Jones runs the Cardiff-based neurodivergent, queer-led community library and art/lit space, Dyddiau Du
