Lovely stuff! #ScottishLiterature 🏴📚
I went into Waterstones to check if my books were in stock and I couldn’t find them. A bookseller asked if he could help and told me that they weren’t there because they’ve been ‘flying out’.
They only had one left. I could have cried with happiness! 🥹

It may be worth recalling that Scott's 'The Antiquary', which I quoted from earlier today, is supposedly the origin of the word 'cliffhanger', thanks to a nail-biting conclusion to one of its chapters - illustrated below. The novel was published in 1816.

The latest thing in #ScottishLiterature re: marginalisation of #Gaelic is these curated lists calling themselves 'starter packs'. I've seen three or four now that don't include Gaelic writers, editors and publishers and they're indicative of a wider culture in the #ScottishArts, too.

James Leslie Mitchell (1901–1935), better known as Lewis Grassic Gibbon, was born on this day, 13 Feb. Author of SUNSET SONG – & many other titles from historical to science fiction – he is one of the most important Scottish writers of the 20th century.

These long-extended realms and rueful wastes;
Where naught but silence reigns, and night, dark night,
Dark as was Chaos ere the Infant Sun
Was roll'd together, or had tried its beams
Athwart the gloom profound!"

It's the centenary of the wonderful Agnes Owens' birth today, so here's the longread I wrote on her life/work. It has interviews with her son; her 1st publisher, @peterkravitz.bsky.social; @sorchadallas.bsky.social; some of those who wrote introductions to the new edition & @damianbarr.bsky.social.
It's the centenary of the wonderful Agnes Owens' birth this year. Her books are being reissued & a satellite archive has officially opened within the Alasdair Gray archive. I spoke to her son, John, & wrote about this "most unfairly neglected of Scottish authors" in the @heraldscotland.bsky.social.
