Synopsis

Female-led literature with an emphasis on place, nature and authenticity in nonfiction, narrative voice in fiction, ideas for our times in the literary essay, and illustrative panache overall.

Edited by Gwen Davies. Featuring Naneh Hovhannisyan, Rhiannon Hooson, Sarah Lerner and Dominika Moravčíková. Originating in Wales and with international ambition. Here we bring together the best of NWR’s online essays and review-essays within a showcase of new work previewing forthcoming titles from some of this country’s key English-language publishers. There’s new work on the Slovak and the migrant experience, with a rural modern fairytale by Slovak author Dominika Moravčíková (in translation by Isabel Stainsby), a family memoir by Armenia-born Naneh Hovhannisyan, and a story from Cardiff dockland by Jewish writer and lawyer, Sarah Lerner. Plus Eric Gregory award-winner Rhiannon Hooson on her nonfiction work-in-progress, Tilth. And mining-themed work, with drawings of the Rhondda by Isabel Alexander, and Ryota Nishi on Japan’s pit closure protest movement.
