That make me love living in Glasgow. This came my way through doing some research and short story reading for uni. I wanted to read about Glasgow and so after a search within the Granta archive of ‘Glasgow’, the first story that struck me was this one – from the author of Mayflies, Andrew O’Hagan. How amazing it was to see his name show up in a copy of Granta.
I know I will never write this good. I’m posting this one for Jim. (I know! You don’t need to tell me how deluded I am to assume he visits this blog. Why would he.) He’ll much prefer to read this than any of my guff. A shame it wasn’t Simple Minds getting the name check at Barrowland rather than the Jesus and Mary Chain. I guess you can’t win them all…
P.S. Don’t forget to use the tools to enlarge the images for easier reading.
