- **Event Description**: Come and join Rhys for the launch of the second edition of his late-modernist cult book: Swansea Automatic.

In his own words - 

"Swansea Automatic was published 10 years ago, around the last year of the snake, to acclaim, except for by those who read it of course. I even did a little residency which was more like squatting in a little shop on the High Street, Swansea, but as time has passed, I came to consider this one of my few - if not only - book that can boast the synthesis of my extreme late-modernist tendencies and some attempt to fit into the aesthetic of popular fiction. Nonetheless, it doesn't pull too many punches -  it's comedy, it's poetry, it's deconstructed prose, even philosophy, textual analysis, cynghanedd and more. 
 
Spinning Around the dirty first-person narrative is the self-referential Vonnegut and the recycled psychogeography of the Fiery Elephant of Johnson, Brooke-Rose and Sinclair. An attempt to exercise the Demon of Swansea from my formative years. But actually set in North Wales just as much. Swansea is a dream city that could just as easily be London, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin or Cairo...
 
A second bite the cherry: a second edition is here, along with the audiobook and kindle edition and the album (movie!), hopefully generating a hammer blow on the collective unconscious of our post-media universe. Swansea Automatic justifies itself to me because 2015 also was the very last gasp of the fin de siècle of the apocalyptic contemporary where the post beats, post flaneur metanarratives where still just about alive"
