Tillfälligt slut

Part of the "Denton Welch" series, this novella recounts a walking tour undertaken by Welch in southern England, while he was a student. It describes his adventures along the way with a sense of nostalgia not only for the pre-war world, but also for the enjoyment of existence in the years before Welch was disabled by a life-threatening accident.

Denton Welch was born in 1915 in Shanghai and educated in England. When he was sixteenth he ran away from Repton School, an episode later described in his first autobiographical book, Maiden Voyage (1943). He enrolled at the Goldsmiths' School of Art in 1933 to study painting. He showed great promise as an artist but in June 1935 he was knocked off his bicycle by a motorist; for the rest of his life he was a semi-invalid. The accident and his long convalescence form the basis of A Voice Through a Cloud, posthumously published in 1950 and recently reissued by Enitharmon. Welch's other books are In Youth is Pleasure (1945; reissued by Enitharmon 2005), Brave and Cruel (1949), and A Last Sheaf (1951).
