Editorial

What Kind of Day Has it Been? (Kathryn Gray)

And so the end of a decade is behind us. Yes, the Noughties, an era that brought us once inconceivable horrors, crushing banalities and awesome technological advances in almost equal measure, is no more. Welcome, the Teens. Or the Tens.

Features

  • Off By Heart by Tishani Doshi
    Tishani Doshi on writing from memory that isn’t memoir: ‘In the end, there is memory and there is the imagination, twinning and uncoupling till there is only one thing: the story’.

  • The Graveyards of Vilnius by Tom Bullough
    Vignettes of life and death in the Lithuanian city.

  • Sleeping Lord by Andrew McNeillie
    Andrew McNeillie on David Jones: ‘a Welsh patriot of a highly unusual kind’. McNeillie considers how Reading David Jones by Thomas Dilworth (UWP) sheds light on the work of a writer who deserves more than the current relative obscurity within the mainstream.

  • Sparrow's Flight by Lloyd Jones
    Lloyd Jones in Berlin; a travelogue of place and time, with typically wry discursions on sex, literary theory and rock ‘n roll.

  • First Hand by Gary Owen
    Gary Owen on verbatim theatre: creating a script from first person testimony.

  • Last Word by Isabel Adonis
    Identity, language and literature.
  • Photo Essay: Once We Were Birds by Tina Carr/Annemarie Schöne
    Roma Gypsies, Europe’s fastest growing minority.
