Jones wins Wales Book of the Year
Author Lloyd Jones has won the Wales Book of the Year for his second - and surreal - novel, entitled Mr Cassini (Seren), reports BBC Online.
The book, described by Jones himself as an "anti-novel", was chosen over poetry by Christine Evans, and essays by rock climber and travel writer Jim Perrin.
Llwyd Owen was revealed as the winner of the Welsh Book of the Year at the Hilton Hotel ceremony in Cardiff.
Both winners will each receive £10,000, with two runners up receiving £1,000 each.
