Sinopse

Bringing together the best of Wales' review-essays, including a comparison of new editions of nature classics, 'Back to the Land' by Pippa Marland. The books under review, Thomas Firbank's I Bought a Mountain and Margiad Evans' Autobiography take contrasting blustering and humble approaches to stepping over the sub/urban doorstep into nature. A showcase of new nonfiction, previewing forthcoming titles from some of Wales' key English-language publishers, exploring books on anti-Welsh media vitriol covering the early Manic Street Preachers, and historical flooding and the riches of an Eton-owned Benedictine fishery on the Gwent Levels. In original fiction: a wonderful story about a teenage boy on the cusp of bodily and emotional change, 'Trout', by Satterday Shaw, and a second, finely crafted story about the effect of geographical dislocation on teenage identity emergence, 'Another Place' by Philippa Holloway, set on Crosby beach. Plus Editorial by Gwen Davies and a new opinion feature, Last Page, by Richard Lewis Davies, in which the writers note that magazines in Wales are undergoing a transition, during which readers and subscribers will need to step up to the plate if a commitment to expressing – without interference - our particular place and time, is to be maintained.

    Well known current affairs investigator David Chase nick-named 'the axe' from popular segment  
    'Cut to the Chase' has been on the tail of a murderer who was released from jail after killing a  
    man but who claims he was a wolf man at the time. A good old fashioned right-wing 'moral  
    outrage sensationalist' field-operative, Chase doesn't like what he sees happening to the news  
    world around him - especially at his long-standing conservative TV Network, CNT (we missed 'u') , which, under the spinning eye of Veronica Fox, is reverting to myth making, 'false facts' and disinformation.  
    Chase feels his expiration date is closing in as he tries to keep traditional gutsy tabloid antics  
    front and center. He gets his chance to bribe Ted Victor the self-alleged 'wolf man of Wirrawee'  
    in for a live interview... and to show real guts - on the crest of a full moon. Veronica Fox can't  
    help but get her magic wand spinning and tries molding it all for the alt-right, while Chase  
    desperately clings onto his authority as a 'common sense' conservative reporter. The world  
    comes to a standstill as Ted and Chase go face-to-face in an event billed as the next tabloid  
    'Frost versus Nixon' - left activists surround the building and the recipe is set for an outlandish  
    denouement...
