Gary Raymond Livres

An accessible introduction to the history of Wales's literature. I awoke from a deep sleep I had taken under the shade of a tree in a field at the outskirts of a dark wood, without remembering how I had gotten there, or, indeed, where it was exactly, I had gotten. So begins a most unusual odyssey, in which a writer--who bears a striking similarity to our author, Gary Raymond--allows himself to be led through the many-layered realms of Welsh literature, not by Virgil but by the late Professor Raymond Williams. Taking in the history of Welsh writing from the legacy of the Bardic tradition to contemporary experimental works, Abandon All Hope introduces Welsh literature in a way it has never been presented before: as cutting-edge, experimental, vibrant, exciting, intimate, and with a multitude of voices. This voyage into a uniquely Welsh inferno offers a revolutionary new way to examine and explain literary history.

A novel that spans the twentieth century and introduces a litany of unforgettable characters, For Those Who Come After is a study in myth-making, of familial bonds, and the destructive tides of enduring love.

Robert Clifford is in Cairo to present his latest film fora festival prize. It has taken seven gruelling years ofhis life to make and is definitely NOT a film about hismother. But his moment in the spotlight is not quite as hescripted.

Within the dark heart of an abandoned city, on an island once torn by betrayal and war, lies a terrible secret...

By any reasonable measurement, Love Actually is a bad movie. There are plenty of bad movies out there, but what gets under Gary Raymond's skin here is that it seems to have tricked so many people into thinking it's a good movie.
