In My Friend Dylan Thomas, author Daniel Jones offers an intimate portrait of his close personal relationship with renowned Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. As a longtime friend and confidant, Jones provides rare insight into Thomas’s explosive creativity, turbulent marriage, and debilitating bouts with alcoholism. Through amusing anecdotes and fond remembrances, Jones traces their friendship from university days through Thomas's sudden rise to literary fame, capturing raucous nights carousing in pubs as well as Quiet moments discussing language and poetry. While not glossing over Thomas’s self-destructive tendencies, Jones pays loving tribute to his warmth, humor, and genius. My Friend Dylan Thomas gives readers an affectionate, candid glimpse into the inspiration and demons behind one of the 20th century’s most beloved poets.
