Emeritus Prof Christopher May

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 219.

Evie Wyld's partial ghost story, The Bass Rock (2020) is really a tale of the violence that men do to women & how they can and do resist. Its full of extraordinary moments but is also at times deeply shocking, even while being a fiction. That said, the writing is fluid & the stories well told, so well worth reading as piece of (possibly) Scottish Gothic (?)
