Description
A Note From the Publisher
His collection of short stories – Welsh Boys Too – was an Honor Book winner in the American Library Association Stonewall Book Awards. His second collection was the acclaimed Fishboys of Vernazza, which was short-listed for the Wales Book of the Year.
After working in ministry, education and public health for more than thirty years, John lives with his husband in a small German village a stone’s throw from the Dutch border.
Advance Praise
His collection of short stories – Welsh Boys Too – was an Honor Book winner in the American Library Association Stonewall Book Awards.
These emotional and thoughtful stories explore complex lives and changing, challenging times.
“A joy to read. Contemporary, yet timeless, these tales of young men living in rural Wales have a pathos and dignity to them that sustains this slim, but vibrant collection. Rustic homophobia tends to be insidious rather than blatant, and Jones’s subtlety of language and style highlight this, as does the wild, unsophisticated backdrop of the slopes of Cader Idris, or the seagulls circling
the cliffs of the barely inhabited island of Enlli. Unsophisticated these men may be, unscathed they are not – but they are survivors, and their stories are as uplifting as they are sad. Treat yourselves.” Sebastian Beaumont, Gay Times
Kiss and Tell includes the best of John Sam Jones’ award- winning short stories.
“Hugely enjoyable” The Big Issue
“This slim, stylish collection is sheer joy.” Peter Burton, Gay Times
“These stories are sometimes poignant, often witty and always perceptive.” John Davies, author of The Penguin History of Wales
“...clever, poignant and perceptive...” The Daily Post
