Krátky popis
THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'Prepare your hearts, for
Douglas Stuart is back. After the extraordinary success of Shuggie
Bain, his second novel, Young Mungo, is another beautiful and
moving book, a gay Romeo and Juliet set in the brutal world of
Glasgow's housing estates.' - The ObserverThe extraordinary,
powerful second novel from the Booker Prize-winning author of
Shuggie Bain, Young Mungo is both a vivid portrayal of
working-class life and the deeply moving story of the dangerous
first love of two young men: Mungo and James. Born under different
stars, Protestant Mungo and Catholic James live in a
hyper-masculine world.They are caught between two of Glasgow's
housing estates, where young working-class men divide themselves
along sectarian lines, and fight territorial battles for the sake
of reputation. They should be sworn enemies if they're to be seen
as men at all, and yet they become best friends as they find a
sanctuary in the doocot that James has built for his prize racing
pigeons. As they begin to fall in love, they dream of escaping the
grey city, and Mungo must work hard to hide his true self from all
those around him, especially from his elder brother Hamish, a local
gang leader with a brutal reputation to uphold.But the threat of
discovery is constant and the punishment unspeakable. When Mungo's
mother sends him on a fishing trip to a loch in western Scotland
with two strange men behind whose drunken banter lie murky pasts,
he needs to summon all his inner strength and courage to get back
to a place of safety, a place where he and James might still have a
future. Imbuing the everyday world of its characters with rich
lyricism, Douglas Stuart's Young Mungo is a gripping and revealing
story about the meaning of masculinity, the push and pull of
family, the violence faced by so many queer people, and the dangers
of loving someone too much.
