19th February 2022: Pugnacious Little Trolls goes to Nation Cymru
Almost a year after its publication, Pugnacious Little Trolls is reviewed by one of the kingmakers of Welsh writing, Jon Gower, for Nation Cymru.
His brief, five-minute article is packed with praise, even so. The stories are ‘freely and fiercely inventive stories,’ a ‘baroque collection of intellectual exotica’ marked by a ‘zestful playfulness,’ and by a ‘grand energy and capacity for invention’ which reminds him of Iolo Morganwg. You can access the review through the button below, or buy Pugnacious Little Trolls from the publisher.
