    1. leden 1964

    Alan Warner je oceňovaný skotský romanopisec, jehož díla se často odehrávají v jeho fiktivním „Přístavu“. Jeho styl je známý svou imaginativní a surrealistickou černou komedií, která prozkoumává jedinečnou perspektivu jeho postav. Vytváří bohaté, atmosférické světy, které čtenáře vtáhnou do jeho vyprávění. Jeho romány často zkoumají existenciální témata a přitom si zachovávají osobitý literární styl.

      The Man Who Walks
    • The Seal Club returns with The View From Poacher's Hill, featuring new novellas by Alan Warner, Irvine Welsh and John King. Three literary chums, three more doses of bold contemporary fiction. In Warner's Migration, a reluctant teenager is taken to live on the Costa Blanca by her parents, but despite the villa, pool and palm trees as enjoyed through designer shades, Lily struggles to adapt to her new life in Spain. All is not well in paradise. In Welsh's In Real Life, the dull existence of disenfranchised Edinburgh youths is eased by the more seductive worlds glimpsed on the likes of Instagram. With drugs, porn, junk food and single-parenthood their everyday obsessions, this romping comedy of no manners asks if our onscreen lives can ever compensate for having nothing in real life. Perhaps the dapper Uncle Glen recently returned from Hemel Hempstead has the answer? In King's Grand Union, the arrival by narrowboat of former lorry driver Merlin and his goat Gary attracts a curious crowd
