Jon Gower

Too Cold for Snow (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A paid assassin called Krink loads up on viper-spit to tackle some uber-thugs; the governor of a prison ship introduces his inmates to haute cuisine; a farmer wakes up after an avalanche in north Wales to find he's the last man alive. The stories in this zany new collection range freely, almost chaotically, from the taiga region of northern Russia to the depths of despair. They are fuelled by a high octane imagination and an uncommon zest for language.

Jon Gower grew up in Llanelli, Wales and studied English at Cambridge University. A former BBC Wales arts and media correspondent, Jon has been making documentary programmes for television and radio for some thirty years. He has eleven books to his name, in both Welsh and English. They include An Island Called Smith, about a disappearing island in Chesapeake Bay, which gained him the John Morgan travel writing prize, and Uncharted, a novel set in Buenos Aires, Oakland, California and Cardiff which was described by Jan Morris as 'unflagging and unfailingly inventive.' His latest book is The Story of Wales, which will accompany a landmark BBC series. Jon is currently a Hay Festival International Fellow. He lives in Cardiff with his wife Sarah and two daughters, Elena and Onwy.
