Product Description

Review
"'The Sound of My Voice is one of the greatest pieces of fiction to come out of Britain in the '80s' Irvine Welsh 'Playful, haunting and moving, this is writing of the highest quality' Ian Rankin 'A stylistic masterpiece... Chilling but extremely enjoyable' Daily Mail 'Like his landmark The Sound of my Voice, Ron Butlin's Night Visits creates a displaced world of jeopardy and emotional damage' Alan Warner 'Butlin is a successor to Kafka or Borges... [he] writes with penetrating insight and reassuring compassion' Time Out 'Funny, eloquent, quirky and desperately sad' Independent on Sunday"

Allan Massie, Scotsman
`Butlin is a novelist capable of making the improbable ring true .
. . remarkable powers of description . . .compellingly written'

4.0 out of 5 stars A Claustrophobic Mini-Masterpiece, 3 Feb 2007
By C. johnstone "Chris Johnstone" (Paisley Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read Ron Butlin's first novel, The Sound of My Voice, many years ago and its authentic original style has stayed with me ever since. So when I saw he had a new book out I bought it immediately. Belonging begins in a secluded ski resort where two drifters are care-taking the exclusive apartments. They are snowed in by the weather and their relationship. Two other people arrive before the storm sets in and things take a turn for the worse. Butlin's protaganist then suffers series of setbacks and horros mainly due to his own inability to take responsibility for anything and choosing very bad partners. Again Butlin writes in a truly original voice and carries the reader to an unexpected finish. This is very good Scottish writing
