I've (To my shame ) only fairly recently started reading Welsh writing in English. The community of Llanparc was I suppose based on living in a small Welsh town more than anything else. At school there we did read some R.S. Thomas poetry but I don't recall any Welsh novels being part of the curriculum.
There are some great contemporary Welsh writers out there. Cynan Jones for example, his first novel The Long Dry was really fine.
Thanks for the question.
All the best
Carol

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Carol Swain There are no rules, no crisis conflict or resolution needed, no story arc, write as much about what you don't know as what you do.…moreThere are no rules, no crisis conflict or resolution needed, no story arc, write as much about what you don't know as what you do.(less)
