Krátky popis
Winner of the Booker Prize 2020 Shortlisted for the National Book
Award for Fiction 2020 A BBC Radio 2 Between the Covers 2021 Book
Choice 'We were bowled over by this first novel, which creates an
amazingly intimate, compassionate, gripping portrait of addiction,
courage and love.' The judges of the Booker Prize 'Douglas Stuart
has written a first novel of rare and lasting beauty.' - Observer
It is 1981. Glasgow is dying and good families must grift to
survive. Agnes Bain has always expected more from life.She dreams
of greater things: a house with its own front door and a life
bought and paid for outright (like her perfect, but false, teeth).
But Agnes is abandoned by her philandering husband, and soon she
and her three children find themselves trapped in a decimated
mining town. As she descends deeper into drink, the children try
their best to save her, yet one by one they must abandon her to
save themselves.It is her son Shuggie who holds out hope the
longest. Shuggie is different. Fastidious and fussy, he shares his
mother's sense of snobbish propriety.The miners' children pick on
him and adults condemn him as no' right. But Shuggie believes that
if he tries his hardest, he can be normal like the other boys and
help his mother escape this hopeless place. Douglas Stuart's
Shuggie Bain lays bare the ruthlessness of poverty, the limits of
love, and the hollowness of pride.A counterpart to the privileged
Thatcher-era London of Alan Hollinghurst's The Line of Beauty, it
also recalls the work of Edouard Louis, Frank McCourt, and Hanya
Yanagihara, a blistering debut by a brilliant writer with a
powerful and important story to tell.
