Book Synopsis The Modern Scottish Novel by : Cairns Craig
Book excerpt: Craig shows how writers -- Muriel Spark, Alasdair Gray, James Kelman, Iain Banks, A. L. Kennedy, and Irvine Welsh -- have adopted a specific set of formal techniques to deal both with the dominance of the English language in the media and the Calvinist legacy, and relates the Scottish novel to contemporary postcolonial and postmodern theory.
