Sugartown

A place where no one admits to coming up the River Clyde on a big banana boat...even if there was a witness.

A self-absorbed hairdresser recalls his stint as a reality TV star. A day in the life of three hapless gamblers. The ups and downs of being Glasgow's most eligible gay woman. A tale of reincarnation in the guise of a high-end sexbot far from home.

Identity, uneasy love, addiction and black humour navigate their way through this collection as each tale explores people, places or events connected to Glasgow and the city's indelible sensibility.

The human condition in all its glory and wonder jumps off these pages, leaving you in no doubt Glasgow dances to the beat of its own drum.

You don't have to be a Weegie to read Sugartown, but if you know one, you might just recognise them.
