Summary:
In the year that Scotland votes on independence from the rest of the UK, Freight Books brings a new and definitive anthology of prose writing from Scotland's leading and emerging gay writers, including the likes of Ali Smith, Louise Welsh, Jackie Kay, Ronald Frame, Toni Davidson and many others. The writing will be as provocative, thoughtful, moving and as fully-charged with energy as one would expect from the country's celebrated community of LGBT artists. Edited by award-winning novelist Zoe Strachan -- Product description.
