Discusses the aesthetic in the context of the politics of marginal communities. This involves the comparison of articles written by Welsh author and poet, Twm Morys, and two Czech authors, Bouhmil Hrabal and Vaclav Havel.
This is without a doubt a glittering proposal which extends contemporary Welsh theory in several new and important directions. It is an exciting contribution, and one which cannot be beaten in terms of intellectual content.Readers report
