Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Dog
Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Dog | Dylan Thomas
4 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
First the young schoolboy, gloriously immersed in make-believe in a shabby farmyard; then the budding poet with his thrilling friendships and dreams of fortune. Finally, the neophyte reporter roaming suburban Swansea for momentous material. In ten wonderfully evocative short stories, Dylan Thomas conveys the exuberance and enthusiasm of youth as he fictionalises events from his childhood. Adolescent sexuality and male friendship are two of the themes that pervade this collection, along with the more familiar topics of love, death and religion. Featuring a bold new livery in celebration of the Dylan Thomas centenary.

#7days7books day 2.
My dad was from south Wales and as a yng child we took long journeys from Manchester to Llanelli and always had day trips to Swansea. As i got older i discovered Dylan Thomas, his poetry and prose but this is one of my top 5 bks which made me appreciate lyrical writing and it evokes childhood memories of the eating cockles on the mumbles sea front. A well thumbed book.

MySharonaK You wrote so beautifully. (Also, can‘t wait to go to mumbles when this lockdown is over) 5y

#nofemmeber #badselfportraits
Im not sure if this fits but i guess as a description it may work as a bad self portrait. This is always in my top books of all time because my dad was from south Wales and the wonderful stories evoke memories of trips to swansea, and the better image on the biog is by Augustus john and i often liked to view it when i was at uni in Cardiff.

Billypar Yeah I'd say the biography is 👍 and 'Portrait of an Artist...' 👎 (I'm referring of course to the cover portrait quality...need to read them both 😳). 6y

I used Jezzy's paw to make abstract prints. She was fairly cooperative for doggy art 🐶💙

I know he is strictly speaking a poet but the tagged book is always in my 5 favourite books of all time. One image is an Augustus john painting of Dylan Thomas which is in Cardiff art gallery and I loved seeing it when i was at uni there. Eventually booze and cigarettes affected his younger good looks.
