Description
New edition of short stories of Stonewall Award-winning author John Sam Jones, selected from Welsh Boys Too and Fishboys of Vernazza, including some unseen work and a new foreword by David Llewellyn.
"John Sam Jones's charming, thoughtful collection of Welsh stories, Welsh Boys Too, is a joy to read." Sebastian Beaumont, Gay Times; "Are these the best gay stories since Tennessee Williams' One Arm?" Booklist; "...clever, poignant and perceptive..." The Daily Post
John Sam Jones' life began on the coast of Wales, where he then became an undergraduate in Aberystwyth. After a scholarship at Berkley, San Francisco, he moved back to the UK to work in chaplaincy, education and sexual health during the AIDS epidemic. In 2001 he became the first co-chair of the LGB Forum Cymru (now known as Stonewall Cymru), set up to advise the Welsh Government on LGB issues. He also ran a guesthouse with his husband in Barmouth for many years, where he eventually became mayor. After the European Union Referendum, John moved to Germany. He now lives in semi-retirement with his husband and two Welsh Collies in a small German village next to the Dutch border. As well as his short fiction, he also has two novels published: With Angels and Furies and Crawling Through Thorns.
