"I hadn't read any Dylan Thomas prior to this story collection, but I have to say that he has become one of my favorites. Some of his stories are a bit image-heavy and tough to muddle through, but I found that when this happened, a Manhattan or two helped clear things up a bit. :-)
My favorite stories have to be the ones in "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog" and "After the Fair." Though many can be quite dark, most are short enough (two or three pages) to be finished quickly.
I've also heard that he was a huge inspiration to Bob Dylan. If you listen to Bob Dylan whilst reading these stories, it's quite obvious how the fiction writer has affected the songwriter. Both use quite a lot of the same multi-layered images and descriptions. Much of Thomas's prose flows similar to te lyrics of Bob Dylan's songs-most noticeably on the album "Blond on Blond."
I'm only sorry I borrowed this from the library; I'd love my own copy to mark up."
