Media Reviews
'A sad, brilliant, joyful tribute to the dreams that never make it' -- Sunday Express 'Angry as well as compassionate. It is a most effective and innovative piece of writing' -- Guardian 'McIlvanney's great skill lies not only in illuminating those fleeting event which hint at, or embody greater truths, but in evoking an entire life within the compass of a few hundred words' -- Sunday Times
