The Front List: Douglas Stuart
With his debut novel, Shuggie Bain, Douglas Stuart created a Scottish publishing sensation and seized the 2020 Booker Prize. His hotly anticipated new work, John of John (described by Lauren Groff as ‘a fierce, glorious sting of a novel'), follows art school graduate Cal as he returns home to the Isle of Harris, tripping straight back into the old life he thought he’d burst beyond. Join Stuart for this rare and special event: an insightful exploration of the grip of family and religion, the fragility of community, and the alternating beauty and bleakness of island life. Chaired by poet Jackie Kay.
