Wild Woila hat Young Mungo von Douglas Stuart besprochen
Precisely drawn, skin-crawling characters
4 Sterne
Similar premise to his first book: gay boy with alcoholic mother in Glasgow. But different enough and also superbly executed. Full of precisely drawn, skin-crawling characters & behaviour, from the psychopathic but protective brother, the deadly Protestant vs Catholic brawls, and the slimey alcoholic older male "role models". Such an unattractive cover!
