William McIlvanney was a noteworthy author from Scotland, who was famous for writing short stories, poems, and full length novels. He was particularly well known for writing mysteries, thrillers, and literature & fiction books. The writing career of author McIlvanney consists of several standalone novels as well as a novel series called Jack Laidlaw. McIlvanney was typically known as Willi among his acquaintances and friends. Author McIlanney was considered a champion writer of gritty, poetic literature. In most of his literary work, he has portrayed Glasgow from the time of the 1970’s, which was liked by many readers. Author McIlvanney is known for introducing the Tartan Noir and is regarded as the Camus of Scotland. McIlvanney was born as William Angus McIlvanney on November 25, 1936. His birth had taken place in Kilmarnock, Scotland. Author McIlvanney was the 4th child of his parents. His father used to work as a miner. The schooling of McIlvanney was done at the Kilmarnock Academy. Later, he completed his graduation from the Glasgow University in the subject of English. Author McIlvanney also holds a Master of Arts degree, which he earned from the same university in 1960. Following his MA, he started working as a teacher of English, teaching school kids until the year 1975. When author McIlvanney got interesting in writing stories, he left his teaching job at the Greenwood Academy, where he was the assistant headmaster, and began pursuing the new career path of writing. In addition to writing books and stories, author McIlvanney used to contribute newspaper columns in a number of daily newspaper on a regular basis. He was also the narrator and writer of the football documentary of BBC Scotland, Only A Game?, which was broadcast in 1986. Author McIlvanney had strong views on socialism and held on to them all his life. Like many other people in his Scottish background, he too was a strong opposer of Thatcherism. McIlvanney was highly disappointed because of the Labor shift under Blair. By the year 2014, he had acquired the feeling, though with a lot of hesitation, that the Independence of Scotland might possibly be the best solution politically. Author McIlvanney’s death occurred on December 5, 2015, due to a short illness. When the news of his death spread in the media, numerous public figures paid tribute to him, noting his gentlemanly and likeable personality as well as his inspirational writing. The ones who paid tribute included Ian Rankin, Irvine Welsh, Nicola Sturgeon, and many others. The Telegraph described the inspirational life of author McIlvanney in their obituary by saying that many writers are admired and respected, but very few are loved the way he was loved. Author McIlvanney has an older brother named Hugh McIlvanney, who is renowned sports journalist. ‘Remedy Is None’ was the first book that McIlvanney wrote in his career in 1966. This book received the Geoffrey Faber Prize in the following year. Another book written by McIlvanney, Docherty, was awarded with the Whitbread Novel Prize. The book was highly praised for the depiction of the endurance and courage of a mine worker. In 1985, The Big Man was published, which described the story of an unemployed man named Dan Scoular who takes up bare knuckle fighting for his livelihood. This novel, along with Docherty, features McIlvanney’s typically strong, violent, and tough men, who go through a lot of struggle with their background and nature. This book was adapted into a 1990 movie featuring Liam Neeson and Billy Connolly in lead roles. The movie was directed by David Leland. The poetic contributions of McIlvanney show several instances of journalism. In 2013, the writings of McIlvanney were regularly displayed on his personal website. The writings featured reflective, topical, and personal writing, and a few examples of journalism. A popular standalone book written by William McIlvanney is entitled ‘Weekend’. This book was released by the Sceptre publication in 2007. At the start of this novel, it is shown that a group of students and lecturers of English Literature from Glasgow arrives at a Victorian mansion hotel, located on Scottish island. Their intention is to indulge in a weekend of study. However, many of them do not really intend to do only study for the whole weekend as the beautiful location increases their temptation to go out and enjoy. In the end, the weekend proves to be a turning point in the lives of some emotional people. But, the ways in which the changes occur were not expected by any of the lecturers or students. The novel appears to be entertaining and thought provoking at the same time. It illustrates the necessary conundrum of the human nature in a brilliant way. The story proves the fact the human nature is driven by the animal instincts. But, the humans also have the mental ability to harness, analyze, and rue all such instincts. This also proves that the humans do not stop dreaming even though many of their dreams turn out be failures. Another mind blowing book penned by author McIlvanney is called ‘The Kiln’. It was also published by the Sceptre publishers, in 1997. Author McIlvanney has created the principle character of this book’s story as Tom Docherty, who is the grandson of the titular character of his 1975 novel, Docherty. The plot of this book is set in the summer of the year 1955 in Edinburgh, and features the same family within 2 different generations. At the beginning of the book, Tom Docherty is introduced as a 17 year old boy. He has just passed out from school and now looks forward to his summer job at a company of brick works. Tom believes that he has his whole life in front of him and so he has planned to do a lot of things in the future. But, after several years, Tom Docherty is seen staying alone in one of Edinburgh’s rented flats. He appears to be lost in his memories, recalling the sexual and intellectual awakening that he had during his youth. As Tom looks back at his life, he discovers that he can make sense of what his life is at the moment only if understands where he has come from. This novel went on to win the book of the year award of Scotland by the Saltire Society in 1996. Just all the other books of author McIlvanney, the characters from this book also seem very much likeable.

A Parliament of Novels : the Politics of Scottish Fiction 1979-1999 David LEISHMAN Université de Grenoble 3 The Scottish literary scene enjoyed so great a resurgence at the end of the 20th century that the period has sometimes been termed the second Scottish renaissance.1 After a period of relative moroseness, initially exacerbated by the 1979 referendum result,2 Scottish fiction found a new vitality which can be charted by a number of factors: the strong growth in the number of new novels published;3 the linguistic, narratological and typographic experimentation of authors such as Alasdair Gray, James Kelman or Janice Galloway; the increased critical interest in Scottish letters; the commercial success of authors such as Ian Rankin or Irvine Welsh, who, despite their international popularity, remain distinctively Scottish in terms of orientation or voice.

  • How Female Authors Have Transformed the Scottish Contemporary Crime Fiction Genre
    Bloody Women 52 DOI: 10.1515/abcsj-2017-0004 Bloody Women: How Female Authors Have Transformed the Scottish Contemporary Crime Fiction Genre LORNA HILL University of Stirling Abstract This study will explore the role of female authors in contemporary Scottish crime fiction. Over the past thirty years, women writers have overhauled the traditionally male dominated genre of crime fiction by writing about strong female characters who drive the plot and solve the crimes. Authors including Val McDermid, Denise Mina and Lin Anderson are just a few of the women who have challenged the expectation of gender and genre. By setting their novels in contemporary society they reflect a range of social and political issues through the lens of a female protagonist. By closely examining the female characters, both journalists, in Val McDermid’s Lindsay Gordon series and Denise Mina’s Paddy Meehan series, I wish to explore the issue of gender through these writers’ perspectives. This essay documents the influence of these writers on my own practice-based research which involves writing a crime novel set in a post referendum Scotland. I examine a progressive and contemporary Scottish society, where women hold many senior positions in public life, and investigate whether this has an effect on the outcome of crimes. Through this narrative, my main character will focus on the current and largely hidden crimes of human trafficking and domestic abuse. By doing this I examine the ways in which the modern crime novel has evolved to cross genre boundaries. In addition to focusing on a crime, the victims and witnesses, today’s crime novels are tackling social issues to reflect society’s changing attitudes and values.

Keith Dixon Talking to the People: A Reflection on Recent Glasgow Fiction During the eighties, the walls of Scotland's great once-industrial city would have had us believe that "Glasgow's miles better" (the local equivalent of the Scottish toast "Here's tae us. Whae's like us"). Just to confmn the self-congratulatory prejudices of the Glasgow citizenry, their town was nominated European "City of Culture" for 1990. For a time media attention focused, usually undiscriminatingly, on Glasgow's new-found cultural pre­ tensions. However, if we hack our way through the cant and publicity hype, it would seem that things are on the move on the Glaswegian cultural scene, in the largest and least elitist sense of the term "culture." Even a casual observer of the present-day rock scene like myself is sur­ prised by the space now occupied by Glasgow-based groups, turning the once unheard-of (in rock musical terms) second city of the Empire into the Liver­ pool of the 1990s; even here the particular voice of the new Glasgow can be heard.

  • Popular Fiction: Detective Novels and Thrillers from Holmes to Rebus
    Popular Fiction: Detective Novels and Thrillers from Holmes to Rebus David Goldie Scottish writers have, at times, played a role in detective, adventure, and thriller writing that is out of proportion to the size of the nation. Though Scotland played no significant part in the twentieth- century’s so-called ‘Golden Age’ of crime fiction, which was dominated by English and American authors, its writers were influential in establishing the genre in the late nineteenth century and can, in the early twenty-first century, count among themselves some of its most popular global practitioners. This chapter may not be able to offer a satisfactory explanation of why this is the case – unfortunately literary criticism is rarely as tidy as fictional detective work – but it will offer an account of the somewhat punctuated evolution of crime and thriller fiction in the Scottish context in the period that runs from Conan Doyle to so-called Tartan Noir. Arthur Conan Doyle and Robert Louis Stevenson are Scottish writers who demand attention principally because of the impact their work had on a popular writing based on action and suspense, on psychological instability and the solving of puzzles. Conan Doyle’s place in the history of detective fiction needs little elaboration. Though he took up a genre that had been established in the 1830s and 40s by Vidocq’s Mémoires, the Newgate novels, and Edgar Allan Poe’s Dupin stories, and which had been experimented with variously by Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, and, most successfully, by Émile Gaboriau, Conan Doyle established in the popular mind the type of the detective story in its modern form.

As it comprises an immense diversity of writing done in such mainstream sub-genres as detective, police, and serial killer fiction, as well as actual noir, I will investigate both the contrasts and the crossovers between said sub-genres.

    Scottish Fiction Suggestions for senior pupils Titles included in this list are either written by a Scottish author, an author residing in Scotland, a novel set in Scotland or a novel which is part of a series of which one book is set in Scotland. ATKINSON, Kate One Good Turn Kate Atkinson creates a series of bizarre characters, all involved with murder--either planning it, committing it, or trying to avoid it. Many seemingly unrelated characters, involved in several seemingly unrelated plot lines, make their appearance in the first fifty pages. During the four days in which the novel takes place, however, these characters and plots start to overlap and eventually come together, until, at the end, the reader is smiling with pleasure at the brilliant plotting and ironic twists of fate. ATKINSON, Kate When Will There Be Good News? In rural Devon, six-year-old Joanna Mason witnesses an appalling crime. Thirty years later the man convicted of the crime is released from prison. In Edinburgh, sixteen-year-old Reggie works as a nanny for a G.P. But Dr Hunter has gone missing and Reggie seems to be the only person who is worried. Across town, Detective Chief Inspector Louise Monroe is also looking for a missing person, unaware that hurtling towards her is an old friend -- Jackson Brodie -- himself on a journey that becomes fatally interrupted BANKS, Iain The Bridge The man who wakes up in the extraordinary world of a bridge has amnesia, and his doctor doesn't seem to want to cure him.
