Summary
Stephen had seemed enthusiastic about the walk, when Benny first invited him. He kept going on about how amazing it’d be, the two of them out in the wilderness - the landscape shots, the pubs, etc., etc.

Critics Review
A modern picaresque that will grab and guide you through some of Britain’s last remaining wildernesses, both inner and outer: the Wales/England border, the ransacked sociopolitical contract, the crisis of contemporary masculinity and its effect on all kinds of interpersonal relationships, the crags and quicksands of the soul. It is compelling and propulsive from the serene and optimistic beginning all the way to the stricken end. Fantastic. – Niall Griffiths
A mad picaresque across Wales which is promising a twist that I know is coming but just can’t guess from which direction. I’m half way through it and enjoying every step of the journey. * Wales Art Review *
This one’s special. Bold, unapologetic, superbly written. ‘Walk’ offers a masterclass in how to write lean prose that’s visually stunning and dialogue that’s entirely real. – Caroline Smailes
