The ground cut away beneath my feet

I've been planning to rewrite my PhD as a book - it's a study of masculinity as constructed in novels by Lewis Jones, Gwyn Thomas and Richard Llewellyn. Imagine my horror when I find on the web this book:


Masculinity in Welsh Writing in English: The cases of Lewis Jones, Glyn Jones, Gwyn Thomas and Ron Berry by EMMA SMITH


Now I'll have to spend £71 on this thesis, and hope that my approach is sufficiently different or better. I'm pleased that someone else is thinking about this stuff, but also highly nervous!

    Don't worry Vole. You can always go back to drumming for the Manics -

    Hmm. Can't really see it myself. Same number of eyes, nose, mouth etc but beyond that…

    You don't think this is more like me?

    I think all you need to do is work zombies into the mix, and you'll have a best-seller!
