Rhys Henry Hughes is a Welsh writer and essayist born on September 24, 1966 in Cardiff.
He is a prolific short story writer with an eclectic mix of influences, which include Italo Calvino, Milorad Pavić, Jorge Luis Borges, Stanisław Lem, Flann O'Brien, Vladimir Nabokov, Donald Barthelme and Jack Vance. Most of his work is of a humourously eccentric bent, often parodies and pastiches with surreal and absurdist overtones, although he is by no means limited to any of these forms and has proven to be fairly versatile.
One of his current projects consists of authoring a 1,000-story cycle of vaguely interconnected tales. Hughes calls this cycle a "wheel", which in turn is formed by smaller "wheels" within "wheels". To date, he has completed roughly one-third of his intended mark.
In addition to this, Hughes is working on a critical biography of author Michael Moorcock.
