Wiliam Owen Roberts (born 1960) is a Welsh language novelist and writer of plays for radio, television and theatre.
[1] His writing is characterised by its originality and daring, dealing with subjects and ideas new to Welsh-language literature.
For example, his first novel, Bingo!, is a reworking of the diaries of Franz Kafka.
[2] Unlike many Welsh-language writers, much of his writing deals with areas of history not directly related to Wales, for example, his 2001 novel Paradwys is about the Atlantic slave trade, as is his 2008 novel, Petrograd, set during the Russian Revolution, which went on to win the Wales Book of the Year award.
