Overview

From Westminster to the Senedd, liars, posers and fools are harpooned as we revisit the surreal bin fire of current affairs 2023-style. Taking in - but never taken in by - a cast that includes Boris Johnson, Carol Vorderman, Mark Drakeford, Shakin' Stevens, Wayne Pivac, and Charles Windsor; Wildsmith's unflinching eye dissects the tragedies and comedies of the year. Whether writing from the 'tomato crisis' in Morocco, the Cave of the Apocalypse in Greece, or community super-club Tylorstown RFC - his missives will delight readers who rage in despair against the zeitgeist.

As a fellow writer I'd have to say that Ben is enviably good, forever upping his game and delivering high-octane opinion set within corruscating prose. Sharp, yes, but compassionate too, caring about unfairness much as he does about the words that shine brilliantly through. - Jon Gower Flags and Bones is a terrific book: an omnium gatherum of Wildsmith's wit, eloquence and righteous state of the nation anger. His writing is fresh, furious and very, very funny. In Ben Wildsmith Welsh political writing has found - for good or ill (or do I mean good and ill?) - the commentator it deserves. - Patrick McGuinness Ben's pen is a spike on which he skewers the empty, self-regarding, and never-to-be-enlightened heads of those who have power. Their ridiculous preening, their moral squalor, their sheer worst-of-us-ness is exposed and explored with a lacerating, caustic wit. Nurture your fury, and let Ben Wildmith put some fun into it.- Niall Griffiths
