Ag yntau’n gyn enillydd Gwobr Somerset Maugham, ystyrir Emyr Humphreys yn un o nofelwyr blaenllaw Cymru ac mae’n awdur dros ddau ddwsin o weithiau ffuglen, gan gynnwys gweithiau sydd bellach yn destunau gosod Safon Uwch. Ystyrir mai ei nofel ‘Outside the House of Baal’ yw’r nofel Saesneg orau o Gymru. Mae hefyd wedi cyhoeddi barddoniaeth nodedig, ysgrifau arloesol, a hanes diwylliannol llawn gweledigaeth o Gymru. Mae ei yrfa’n rhychwantu wyth deg o flynyddoedd, ac yn dyddio’n ôl i’r 1950au pan oedd Saunders Lewis, Graham Greene a T.S. Elliot ymhlith ei fentoriaid. Bu’n cydweithio gyda Patrick Heron ar gloriau ei nofelau, ac mae wedi cyfarwyddo radio a theledu, gan gastio actorion fel Richard Burton, Siân Phillips a Peter O’Toole.
