A quirky collection of ultra-short stories that showcases the author’s mastery of the form.

The intriguing Colin lives in a bus stop and waits daily for a list of names from "The Bureaucracy." Once received, he goes about his mysterious work of dispensing a “Hey-ho Farewell” to those who feature on the list. But as time passes, Colin begins to develop something resembling empathy and other human virtues—a transformation both unsettling and profound.

Jones-Williams's precise, economical prose style has been honed through his work as both playwright and poet and this third in a trio of collections began with Tynnu (Pulling) and continued with Raffl a Storïau Eraill (Raffle and Other Stories) which was shortlisted for Wales Book of the Year 2024.

The author’s experience as both clergyman and artist is evident in his writing which examines moral complexity with precision and dark humour. The book's blend of dystopian satire and psychological realism places it within a tradition of European experimental fiction while offering a distinctly Welsh perspective on contemporary anxieties about authority, surveillance, and individual agency.
