Who’s coming for a swally? Doctor’s orders. Beyond, beyond, to be awarded an honorary doctorate in my hometown. Thank you #universityofglasgow for the honour. And big love to Jo Gill and the fantastic English Department.

A total joy to interview the incredible @KitdeWaal at @hayfestival this week. She was the most generous and compassionate speaker. WITHOUT WARNING AND ONLY SOMETIMES is a masterclass in memoir. I can’t recommend it enough. Get it read!

👏👏👏This was no mean feat. “…Lenka Sobotová has fulfilled her task in a sovereign way… the authentic voices of Stuart's characters… work quite naturally in Czech, as if it were not even a translation. Nothing is a more conclusive sign of a good translation than just that.”

Many have asked how I managed to pull out of the tailspin of chaos my life was in… others, about the catalysts for that change. Here is it… the madness of Scottish young team gang culture, family, faith, forgiveness #YoungBritishNovelists @GrantaMag granta.com/the-cloud-factory…
