A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

William McIlvanney paints a world of harsh reality, but does so in language that is strangely beautiful and hauntingly poetic. His work defies pigeonholing in any genre: this is simply great writing from a master of his craft (CRAIG RUSSELL)

Here a human history is mined with humour and a clenching sense of its sombre inequities: man's squat but lengthening shadow in the sun (Guardian)

He has a hard muscular quality to his writing. Some of his phrases hammer against you like a collier's pick (The Times)

An intense, witty and beautifully wrought novel (Daily Telegraph) --Daily Telegraph
