Cynan Jones: Pulse

Pulse, the latest book by award-winning Welsh author Cynan Jones, Is a brilliant collection of viscerally powerful short stories in which man is pitted against nature, against circumstance, and against himself. 

A man heads into the snow to hunt down the bear that has been taking stock from farms in the valley. A father tries to make something go right for the son he no longer lives with. A partner is called to help when a cow’s labour goes horribly wrong. A fierce storm threatens to bring down a tree on powerlines over a family’s home. Fear, vulnerability, tension and resolve course through these arresting and indelible stories from one of the finest British writers at work today. 

Cynan will be in conversation with Patrick Holloway
