A handbook, a demystification and an intimate history of the wide literary world. Written with Peter Finch’s characteristic good humour, The Literary Business relates through bitingly well-observed vignettes how it is and how it was over the past six decades.
Few others in Wales know the business and how we got here like Finch does. And few others will have been capable of reporting back in such an entertaining fashion.
Read Peter Finch's introduction here.
"I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish. If you’re remotely interested in Wales’ literature and how it developed – “it” being the nuts, the bolts, the print, the shelves, the cash till, the stock control, the Sellotape – you’ll love it. If not, it’s simply a rollicking account of social and cultural Wales this last half a century. Finch deploys the right amount of irreverence and respect to tell his stories." – Desmond Clifford, Nation.Cymru
