Rhys Henry Hughes (born 1966, Cardiff, Wales) is a Welsh fantasy writer and essayist.[1]
Career[edit]
Born in Cardiff, Hughes has written in a variety of forms, from short stories to novels.
His long novel Engelbrecht Again! is a sequel to Maurice Richardson's 1950 cult classic The Exploits of Engelbrecht and is the most radical of Hughes's books, making extensive use of lipograms, typographical tricks, coded passages and other OuLiPo techniques.[2]
His main project consists of authoring a 1,000-story cycle of both tightly and loosely interconnected tales.[2]
