Synopsis

In 'Contracts', the concluding novel of his highly acclaimed comedy trilogy, Norman Maclean writes with insight and elan about the birth and horrible growing pains of a new creature: Gaelic television. Get to know the greedy - mainly male - apparatchiks of the Gaelic Broadcasting Fund and all the deluded and vain hustlers which are in a frenzy to join the feeding trough of public money provided by the government's injection of 10 million into Gaelic broadcasting. Norman Maclean's brilliant and hilarious satire is another virtuoso performance on the perennial themes of greed, lust and folly.

Author Bio
Born in Glasgow in 1936, Norman Maclean was educated at school and university in Glasgow, before going on to teach all over Scotland. He garnered much fame after winning two Gold Medals at the National Mod - for poetry and singing - in the same year, 1967, the only person ever to do so. Shortly afterwards he began a career, as he would say himself, as a clown, and it is in that role, and that of a musician, that he is still best-known today.
