It is with great sadness that we hear of the passing of Emyr Humphreys, one of the greatest literary talents of the twentieth century in Wales and beyond. We had the honour of publishing his works for many years. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
Camp #EmyrHumphreys was to portray the diversity and internal tensions of the Welsh-speaking world through the medium of English. He was a bridgeman. A cultural nationalist in its broadest sense. Respects the distinctiveness of Wales and places it in an international context. Peace to his ashes.
Camp #EmyrHumphreys oedd portreadu amrywiaeth a thensiynnau mewnol y byd Cymraeg drwy gyfrwng y Saesneg. Roedd yn bontiwr. Yn genedlaetholwr diwylliannol yn ei ystyr ehangaf. Yn parchu neilltuolrwydd Cymru gan ei osod mewn cyd-destun rhyngwladol. Heddwch i’w lwch. pic.twitter.com/5H6GYlrqkO

#EmyrHumphreys portrayed the internal diversity + tensions of Welsh language society through the medium of English. He had to build the context of his stories for readers outside the culture. In this act of bridging he created a cultural base for a Welsh nation. Heddwch i’w lwch

News emerging that Emyr Humphreys has died, aged 101. In my opinion, Wales’s most important novelist. Thanks to my old teacher @Bookmac4 for leading us to A Toy Epic as a bunch of snot-nosed A-Level students where I even got to interview Humphreys when I was 16.

It is sad to note the death of Emyr Humphreys, a distinguished writer and campaigner of conviction. He was in prison with the Channel campaign in the seventies, and continued to support the Society, making a financial contribution as recently as his hundredth birthday. All condolences to his family.
Trist yw nodi marwolaeth Emyr Humphreys, llenor o fri ac ymgyrchydd o argyhoeddiad. Bu yn y carchar gydag ymgyrch y Sianel yn y saithdegau, ac fe barhaodd i gefnogi’r Gymdeithas, gan wneud cyfraniad ariannol mor ddiweddar â’i ben-blwydd yn gant oed. Pob cydymdeimlad â’i deulu. pic.twitter.com/OpLM1MSpiV
