Howard Marks was released from Terre Haute Penitentiary, Indiana in April 1995 after serving seven years of a twenty-five year sentence for marijuana smuggling. It was time for a change of career. So he wrote two best-selling books, became a sports writer & travel writer, stood as a parliamentary candidate in Norwich North, Norwich South, Southampton Test & Neath, applied to become the country`s Drug Czar, & embarked on a long-running sell-out series of one man shows. While performing in his home town of Kenfig Hill, he fell among old friends who made extraordinary claims for Welsh culture (Was Elvis really Welsh? Was there really a tribe of Welsh-speaking Native Americans?) At the same time his elderly aunt told him of his outlaw ancestry: William Owen, the legendary Welsh smuggler (who had operated for some time in South America) & his great-great-grandfather Patrick Mc Carty, the half brother of Billy the Kid, who had joined Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid in Patagonia. He decided to explore South America. His travels took him to Jamaica & Panama in the footsteps of the Welsh buccaneer Henry Morgan; he went to Brazil looking for groups of Welsh settlers so obscure he never found them (although he did succeed in finding his musical idol Jimmy Page); & he searched among the thriving Welsh community in Patagonia for signs of Billy the Kid`s half brother. Richly comic & charged with the sense of adventure that would induce an Oxford graduate to become the world`s most notorious marijuana smuggler, ” Senor Nice” is the hugely entertaining sequel to ” Mr Nice”. ...

Elinor is as prudent as her sister Marianne is impetuous. Each must learn from the other after they are they are forced by their father`s death to leave their home & enter into the contests of polite society. The charms of unsuitable men & the schemes of rival ladies mean that their paths to success are thwart with disappointment but together they attempt to find a way to happiness. ...

Sense & Sensibility is famously characterised as the story of two Dashwood sisters who embody the conflict between the oppressive nature of 'civilised' society & the human desire for romantic passion. However, there is far more to this story of two daughters made homeless by the death of their father. Elinor, 19, & Marianne, 17, initially project the opposing roles with Elinor cautious & unassuming about romantic matters, while Marianne is wild & passionate when she falls hopelessly in love with the libertine Mr Willoughby. But the lessons in love & life see the two characters develop & change with sense & sensibility needing to be compromised as a matter of survival. Written when Austen was just nineteen, this story has been read as a biographical reflection of her relationship with her own sister Cassandra, with the younger Jane being the victim of 'sensibility.' However, the novel is far more than a simple case of passion versus manners, & depicts the romantic complications of two women made highly vulnerable by the loss of their father & estate. With a raw & intense quality Austen creates a romantic masterpiece on the backdrop of a fragile social context. ...
