Dr Richard Price has been described as 'the greatest Welsh thinker of all time'. Yet despite helping shape modern democracy, economics and political philosophy, he remains one of Wales's least-known intellectual giants✍️ Huw Webber wp.me/p8Mk4U-1lWL

It's a great book, boldly focussing in on a few crucial years in one artist's emergence into the limelight. Braver and more honest than many a musician's memoir.

You genuinely would not believe how much of a shambles the whole thing is, incompetence of the highest order.

Oprava has a real knack for encapsulating elements of the different states into vivid and intense moments. The poems are the best he’s written so far. This book is extraordinary in its intelligence, empathy and often the brilliance of its writing.
