Gary Raymond is a novelist, critic, playwright, and as presenter of BBC Radio Wales’ Arts Show is at the forefront of what is going on in the arts in Wales. His latest book is a hilarious and encyclopaedic journey through the history of Welsh literature, using the template of Dante’s Inferno as his guide. Join Gary as he reads excerpts from the book and discusses its origins and evolution, and why now is the right time to have a book like this come out.

Gary will be interviewed by Jayne Bryant.

This event is part of the first Newport Festival of Words taking place from the 20th – 23rd March. A celebration of words, from songwriting to storytelling, poetry to prose, and featuring local, national and international writers and performers.
