FROM THE PUBLISHER-One of the twentieth century's most gifted writers, Dylan Thomas created a vital, lusty, antic world of truly memorable characters. This Signet Classic offers a distinguished selection of his work-twenty stories plus all of his famous unfinished novel, ADVENTURES IN THE SKIN TRADE. The title piece relates the adventures of Samuel Bennet, a young innocent embarked on a wild pilgrimage through modern London. The stories range in theme from life and love to nature and madness, but all are written with the extravagant humor, the brilliant imagery, the magic awareness of the true poet. The New York Times wrote of ADVENTURES IN THE SKIN TRADE: 'The human warmth keeps bubbling up through the satire. Thomas' last work of fiction, in addition to its intrinsic interest, has a meaningfulness comparable to that of Keats' letters and Yeats' memoirs. ' The New York Herald Tribune found it a 'vein of pure gold. ' And The Saturday Review called Dylan Thomas 'a genius. ' inventory #29291.
