Description

This amusing book charts the rise and fall (and probably the rise again) of Magnus Merriman—would-be partner, author, politician, crofter—moved, and idealist by aspirations of a skill and success for farcical beat. Persuaded that "little countries are better to reside in than large people," Magnus becomes a candidate for the parliamentary seat of "Kinluce." With particulars centered on Linklater's own encounters within an East Fife by election in 1933, the way in which is placed to get a satirical and irreverent face of Scottish life, literature, and politics in the 1930s. Nothing is holy and no one is spared. Launched by Douglas Gifford.
