Kinky Dylan Thomas


As much as it pains me to admit it, reading the work of Wales' greatest cultural albatross, Dylan Thomas, is invariably an enjoyable experience. The cult of Dylan Thomas and its cottage industry on the other hand never fails to depress me. Talk about flogging a poetic stereotype to death.

However there is one item of Thomas memorabilia that I'd love to get my mitts on and that's the September 1968 edition of Man to Man magazine (see pic). As you can see the trashy American publication contains some startling revelations concerning Thomas and his alleged fondness for naked women and wet mackintoshes!

A no good boyo indeed. Adventures in the skin trade, one presumes.
