Young Art and Old Hector
The rabbits and pheasants from the forests are for the stew, the salmon taken from the rivers is likewise for the table, and the whisky is for weddings and celebrations. It is for their community, and none of it is for selling, not for profit nor for making someone else rich.
The Unfinished Harauld Hughes
As you’d expect from Ayoade, it is deadpan and awkward, bringing wit, humour and a slice of surrealism to the mundane.
The Chimes
Dickens satirises the middle classes and those in office that promoted policy that sought to prevent working-class people from marrying and having families.
Unlikely Stories, Mostly
[…] fable-like and pourquoi stories that are funny and entertaining, in which Gray demonstrates the breadth of his talent as a writer.
Supernatural Short Stories
This [collection] demonstrates an attention to detail and knowledge of the Highland way of life in the face of its degradation which began with the genocide perpetrated after the Jacobite Uprising and the ethnic cleansing that continued apace during the lifetime of Scott.
Insurrection: Scotland’s Famine Winter
The book gives testament to the bravery of ordinary men and women […] who stood up to face legal threat and military violence in the face of famine and destitution.
Sunset Song
John Guthrie is a mean-spirited and brutal man, bringing with him a constant threat of physical, mental and sexual abuse, all in the name of ‘The Kirk’.
Prophet Song
“How quickly we could find ourselves nervously passing a checkpoint or dreading the whistle of bombshells in the night.”
Iain Mac Lachlainn
