I did ScotLit at Glasgow in 2nd year undergrad to qualify me for English Language single honours, and it was the best decision. Sunset Song, Lanark, Waverley, Confessions of a Justified Sinner, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie - it made it so so clear how literature is culture, literature is history

The Quine Report is a deep dive that I genuinely look forward to reading in full, but the top-notes are pretty damning in and of themselves. This is not the inclusive, progressive, exceptionalist story ScotLit likes to tell itself, or promote on the world stage.

Oh, this is cool. What with transphobia the disease of the chattering class, the way it spreads through in group mutual validation, and some high profile names beyond just Rowling in the big cultural group chat, I… was not at all sure how far the brainrot might be pervasive on the ScotLit scene.
The GC hatred of the Edinburgh Book Festival is so compelling to me. They can’t handle the fact that they haven’t won the unconditional support of Scotland’s literary tastemakers and cultural elite. It drives them crazy!

I wrote a thing about caves and our recent #ScotLit trip to the Isle of Arran. Sign up to the link here if you’d like to read it. Also, The Blether is very good, so you’d be doing yourself a favour anyhow… 👍🏻
What do hills, spiders, caves and castles all have in common?
