Outside of a Dog: An Anthology of New Voices [Paperback]

"'The MPhil at the University of Glasgow has been responsible for an incredible flourishing in the city's literature, producing in recent years Rachel Seiffert (Heinemann, shortlisted for the Booker Prize and on Granta's 2003 list of top young novelists), Anne Donovan (Canongate), Louise Welsh (Canongate, winner of the John Creasey Memorial Dagger) Zoe Strachan (Picador, winner of Betty Trask Award and shortlisted for the Saltire First Book Award) and Rodge Glass (Faber), among many others. The writers in this anthology - some of whom, I am certain, will go on to equal that success - are testament to the course's international renown. This is an exciting collection, staggeringly varied, and a glimpse of the future of Scottish writing.' Alan Bissett, author of The Incredible Adam Spark"
