Synopsis

From the enclosed, austere fishing community of Broughty Ferry to the implacably encroaching tower-blocks of nearby Dundee, Bill Duncan's narrative resonates with the voices of the living and the dead. Haunting, evocative and eccentric, THE SMILING SCHOOL FOR CALVINISTS memorably conjures up a traditional community reluctantly confronting the modern world.

Book Overview: Duncan is a startling, humourous, new voice in Scottish fiction. 'Bill Duncan could well end up doing for Dundee what Borges did for Buenos Aires' Don Paterson 'Deadpan, incredible stories the poet Don Paterson is right in comparing Duncan to Borges gross and surreal comedy, as well as touching yet honest evocations of teenage years' Nicholas Lezard, GUARDIAN
