Control your Culture.

Chuck Palahniuk

I can’t write without a reader. It’s precisely like a kiss – you can’t do it alone.

John Cheever

From the writer’s perspective, audience is always an act of the imagination.

Billy Marshall Stoneking

Put the female, the European, the specifics of place that Wales represents, back into your imagination

Gwen Davies, editor

Ah, how good it is to be among people who are reading.

Rainer Maria Rilke

On Reading: ‘I practise silence [and] the turmoil of memories is stilled.’

St Isaac of Syria, 500 AD

"In 1954 a number of Nigerian students accused Tutuola of pandering to European stereotypes, and argued that his ungrammatical sentence structures and narratives rooted in African myths and legends were giving Europeans a chance to 'confirm their concepts of Africa'. Thomas has also of course been accused of playing the stage Welshman; from Pennar Davies's description of him as a gifted entertainer', to Katie Gramich's more recent argument that Thomas is our "our clichéd bard."" from @danielgwydion's Summer 2003 essay 'Beyond National Literature? Dylan Thomas and Amos Tutuola in ‘Igbo masquerade’'. Williams explores Thomas' review (printed in full) of Tutuola's 'The Palm-Wine Drinkard', an instance of what Achebe called "a spontaneous recognition and acknowledgement of one blithe spirit by another".

The New Welsh Review's digital archive is now extended back to 2000. To celebrate we've made a few treasures from the trove #openaccess. Until August 10th you can access (for free!) five articles: A great religious poet of the Calvinistic sublime by M. Wynn Thomas (Winter 2000) "There have been deaths that have affected the very weather of the Welsh mind, and for two days after R.S. Thomas had left us Wales was swept by storms." https://reader.exacteditions.com/issues/111179/spread/14 'Owe are Ewe?' by Rachel Trezise (Winter 2004) The Mapping of Power and the Power of Mapping by Mike Parker (Spring 2006) Beyond National Literature? Dylan Thomas and Amos Tutuola in 'Igbo masquerade' by Daniel G Williams (Summer 2003) Art Against the Classes by Andrew Hussey (Spring 2000) Readers can benefit from the extended archive’s advanced search function, as well as its intuitive stacking system for easy navigation and facility to download issues for offline reading on iOS and Android devices. Institutional subscriptions are set up using IP-authenticated access, to facilitate unlimited access on and off campus, and librarians also receive usage reports and metadata to improve discoverability. Subscriptions to New Welsh Review are available in the Exact Editions institutional shop here: https://institutions.exacteditions.com/new-welsh-reader
