Hoots! An Anthology of Scottish Comic Writing

This entertaining collection brings together a feast of comic writing from Scotland and displays at least one common feature — a relish for the ludicrous or absurd. Beyond that, you will discover familiar and unfamiliar territory: Chic Murray and the greats of the music-hall tradition: the surreal musings of Arnold Brown, Ivor Cutler and James Meek; Irvine Welsh’s double-take on Hollywood babes; Tom Morton’s memories of miserable midge-ridden holidays, and Angus Dreichmore’s Christmas on the croft. All human life is here. Enjoy!
