Jim Neat - The Case of a Young Man Down on his Luck

Aiff Mary J. Oliver ar drywydd ei thad drwy gyfrwng yr ychydig atgofion sydd ganddi, gan ddarganfod bywyd rhwystredig o obeithion nas gwireddwyd, trasiedi marwolaeth cymar yng Nghanada ynghyd â merch amddifad yng Nghanada. Mae Oliver yn defnyddio'r ychydig ddogfennau teuluol oedd ganddi, ynghyd â phlethiad o farddoniaeth a rhyddiaith i greu cofiant swynol ac atyniadol.

Mary J. Oliver goes in search of her father through the few memories she has of him and discovers an unfulfilled life tinged with the tragedy of his partner's death and an orphaned daughter in Canada. Using the few documents of Jim Neat's life and a mix of poetry and prose, Oliver creates a fascinating and engaging book, unlike any other memoir.
