Dr Alan Bilton
Jane Fraser is an award-winning writer of short story, historical fiction, and memoir.She lives and works in Llangennith, a small village at the north-western edge of the Gower Peninsula, South Wales, in a house facing the sea which bears the full brunt of the south-westerly wind.
To: 5 Jun 2019, 3 p.m.
Location: Taliesin Create, Swansea University, Singleton Park, SA2 8PZ, Swansea
Jane Fraser’s dark and unsettling debut collection of short stories explores the windswept Gower Peninsula of South Wales: a place of folklore and myth, birth and death, envy and revenge.
‘The South Westerlies is obviously the work of a serious, committed and thoughtful writer, open to both inner and outer realms, the quivering sensitivities of the self, and the tactile, textured world outside, a kind of aesthetic elision between character and place.’ ALAN BILTON
The launch (2pm-3pm) will be followed by readings of new work by Swansea University Creative Writing PhD students (3pm-5pm)
