Liebe und Gewalt, Schönheit und Trostlosigkeit wechseln sich ab in dieser rauen, berührenden Geschichte im Schottland der trüben 90er Jahre. Empfehlung.

Finished reading #YoungMungo!

THE saddest, soul crushing, most traumatic, heart wrenchingly depressing book I have ever read but the happier parts were so beautifully written and captivating. I loved James and Mungo so much.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

(CW: heavy SA related plot, wish I knew that before reading)

ugualmente ironica, descrittiva o drammatica all'occorrenza. Speravo in un finale più lungo, o in un adattamento televisivo / cinematografico per non dovermi ancora separare dai personaggi.

Stuart plays with opposites in his language that moves between a cheap trick to really thoughtful. #YoungMungo #DouglasStuart #BookChat #booksky

Stuart masterfully leads the reader to a place where the hatred and the fears can be understood, if not related to. #YoungMungo #DouglasStuart #BookChat #booksky

Stuart manages to make life so raw. The dirty feels really dirty. The distasteful equally so. The hurt really hurts. The cruelty is really cruel. But I’m not sure that the passion is passionate enough. #YoungMungo #DouglasStuart #BookChat #booksky

It’s a story that’s been told a thousand times before. It’s a story that is being told for the first time. #YoungMungo #DouglasStuart #BookChat #booksky

Eventually got around to reading the follow up to the classic Shuggie Bain

Douglas Stuart writes fantastically

If you’re from Scotland (especially Glasgow) and are of a certain age (say 50 and over) - this is a must read #youngmungo

Completely different tones and stories. Light and shadow☯️

Young Mungo, Douglas Stuart, cover

So, durch mit #YoungMungo.

Von mir gibt's keine Empfehlung. Zu brutal - und auch wenn ich selbst nicht in einem Sozialviertel in Glasgow aufgewachsen bin, kommt es mir doch übertrieben vor.

Allerdings gewinnt es ja Preise und Lorbeeren über und über, da kann dem Autor meine Meinung auch egal sein.

I'm only half way through and it's not that I can't handle a tough story, but calling it "tender" as The Times is quoted here on the cover, is overstretching it.

This is a story of brutal violence, alcoholism and rape of minors. Can't see the tenderness in that, sorry.

This is your reminder to read tags for fic or books. I’ve spent 6 months working through Young Mungo bc I love the story but didn’t read the tags first and wasn’t prepared for the serious topics 🙃 #youngmungo #douglasstuart #readthetags

CLASS IN BRITAIN: THATCHER 'NO SUCH THING In a 1987 interview with Woman's Own magazine, Margaret Thatcher said there was "no such thing as society", and that line went on to become one of her most famous. 150 00 г It has been much debated over the years, with critics seeing it as evidence of a heartless approach where needy individuals are left to fend for themselves. "I think we've been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it... They're casting their problem on society. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38553797 'Q6

Preparing my slides for next week’s lecture on class and queerness. Teaching Young Mungo (2022) over two weeks, which is a brilliant, moving, searing novel. It cuts to the quick & requires slow contextual in-roads. Thatcher’s ’no such thing as society’ is the place I start #Class #YoungMungo

I am looking forward to the television adaption of #YoungMungo written by Douglas Stewart #LGBTQPLUS #BBCScotland www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scot...
