The 'Young Dog' of the title is of course Thomas himself, & this volume of autobiographical stories by the great modern poet, who shows his waggish humor at its best, his exuberance & verbal magic in spectacular display. It also shows him a spinner of tales & a creator of memorable characters.

Review of 'Portrait of the Artist As a Young Dog' on 'GoodReads'

3 stars

Dylan Thomas never fails at reclaiming his literary streets, although I found his portrait kind of painted in water colours when it should have been oil based - I guess he was merely whittling away at memories and on this level it worked. Don't get me wrong, I think the man is a enigma of brazen thought, only this particular work sort of tied me over rather then carried me away.
