George Mackay Brown: The Life

By Maggie Fergusson

Book Overview

George Mackay Brown was one of Scotland's greatest?20th century writers, but in person a bundle of paradoxes. He had a wide international reputation, but hardly left his native Orkney. A prolific poet, he was also an accomplished novelist and a master of the short story. When he died on 13th April 1996, he left behind an autobiography as deft as it is ultimately uninformative.
