Dai Smith

Off the Track

'From its first paragraph almost to its last, Smith's precise, luxuriant prose style dazzles in its ability to simultaneously set off syntactical fireworks and marshall precisely into shape the considered thoughts of a lifetime's intellectual curiosity and self-reflection.' — Dylan Moore, Nation.Cymru
A boy running around a running track in the early evening opens a memoir of candour and insight.
From a working-class Rhondda childhood through to the glamour of Barry Grammar and onto a coveted Balliol College scholarship and study in New York, David Smith was the rising intellectual star of a generation. In this beautifully written memoir Dai Smith engages and entertains with a personal life and times with the characteristic verve of a writer who has illuminated the modern history of the people of South Wales.
