Cal Paperback - 1998

by Bernard MacLaverty


From the publisher

BERNARD MacLAVERTY lives in Glasgow. He has written five collections of stories and four novels, including Grace Notes which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and won the Saltire Scottish Book of the Year Award.

He has written versions of his fiction for other media -- radio plays, television plays, screenplays -- and wrote and directed the short film Bye Child which won a BAFTA award.

First line

He stood at the back gateway of the abattoir, his hands thrust into his pockets, his stomach rigid with the ache of want.

Media reviews

"Simple humanity, eloquently caught... Though Cal is a bleak novel, there is a flicker of lyricism running through it, like the sun shining through the shattered windows of a ruined church." --New York Times
