A delight: a boisterous, kindly, deep, sweet romp of a thing
*Scotsman*
Absolutely beautiful... As far as I'm concerned he's emerging as
the William Faulkner of British fiction: somebody who's created a
body of work that has not only animated a language but a period and
a place... He has this incredible talent
*Andrew O'Hagan*
This is the best Scottish fiction since Lanark
*Scottish Review of Books*
Morally sensitive, exquisitely written and emotionally mature
*Guardian*
If you still haven’t read it from last year, Alan Warner’s The
Deadman’s Pedal was out in paperback in this. Read it
