THE MIDDLE OF A SENTENCE BOOK
Every so often a short story or prose collection comes along which helps to define a particular period in Scottish literature. In the 1980s there was Lean Tales, which brought together three of the great writers of the day in Alasdair Gray, Agnes Owens, and James Kelman. The 90s had The Children of Albion Rovers which introduced many to the work of those who became known as the Chemical Generation of writers, and 2011 saw the publication of The Year of Open Doors, where the writing reflected the greater range and breadth of Scottish culture evident in the early years of the new millennium.
