The Wales Book of the Year winners, Richard Gwyn and Patrick McGuinness, will be interviewed about their respective works
Cardiff University’s Creative Minds festival is hosting a discussion evening with the winning authors of the 2012 Wales Book of the Year award.
On 22 November at 8pm, Richard Gwyn and Patrick McGuinness will be interviewed about their respective prizewinning titles, The Vagabond’s Breakfast and The Last Hundred Days. The interview will be held in the Humanities Building, Cardiff University.
Gwyn’s book, a memoir about his own reckless wanderings around the Mediterranean during the 1980s, won the award for creative non-fiction. McGuinness’s novel, which describes the unravelling of the communist system in Romania, won the fiction award.
Event organiser James Vilares says, “These are two of the most high-quality texts published by Welsh authors this year and provide a valuable assessment of where Welsh literature is.”
