News at Eleven: [John Malcolm] Brinnin's depiction of [Dylan] Thomas

as an alcoholic was wholly false, [George] Tremlett said, but it had "set the mood, defining how people have thought of Thomas".

Pubs were an important part of Thomas's life, he acknowledged. But, while the writer could hold a pub audience spellbound with jokes and extempore poems, he could not hold his drink beyond two pints, he believes. While there were affairs, he added, the evidence is fewer than some suggest.
