Oh, Glasgow. I love you.
This morning NPR ran a story on Denise Mina, a Glaswegian crime writer that I enjoy. Shaun and I read her and went to a few of her readings/lectures when we lived in Glasgow. Reading her books really let us into the parts of that city that–as outsiders–we’d otherwise never really encounter or understand. Plus, they are fun.
Anyhow, hearing a Scottish voice so early in the morning really brightened my day. Which is funny, because the story is about some of the grittier aspects of Glasgow. Nonetheless, I wanted to write a wee blog post about it, in case anyone else is interested in listening. I think Denise’s attitude, compassion, and humanity really encapsulate that community.
