Pank och med en oanvändbar konstskoleutbildning i bagaget, återvänder John-Calum Macleod till hemön Harris i de Yttre Hebriderna. Millennieskiftet står för dörren men på ön lever man som man alltid gjort, med och av fåren. Återigen tvingas Cal navigera mellan fadern John, en puritansk fårfarmare, och mormor Ella, två explosiva motpoler som motvilligt huserat under samma tak i decennier. Medan Cal i hemlighet letar efter en man som kan lindra hans ensamhet förbannar fader John sonens långa hår och hans vägran att underordna sig den lokala församlingen som styr det mesta på ön. Men livet på ön är inte så okomplicerat som det kan se ut, och Cal börjar gradvis ana de osynliga band som döljer sig bakom öbornas stränga gemenskap. Douglas Stuart har skrivit en gripande familjesaga om hemligheter och livslögner, precis som genombrottet Shuggie Bain är John och John en omvälvande läsupplevelse, signerad en av vår tids stora berättare.

Sydämen särkevä kertomus nuoren miehen kotiinpaluusta ja perhesiteitä repivistä odotuksista. Johnin poika John vahvistaa Stuartin asemaa yhtenä aikamme merkittävimmistä skottikirjailijoista. Rahattomana ja vailla mitään konkreettista näyttöä taideopinnoistaan John-Calum Macleod palaa kotisaarelleen ja huomaa, ettei juuri mikään ole muuttunut, paitsi hän itse. Kun Cal miettii, voisiko tuulisilta ja karuilta mäkikumpareilta löytyä seuraksi yhtäkään yksinäistä miestä, hänen isänsä John – lammasfarmari ja paikallisen presbyteerikirkon tukipilari – järkyttyy poikansa pitkästä tukasta ja siitä, ettei hän näytä haluavan pelastusta. Vuodenaikojen vaihtuessa perheen koossa pitävät, hauraat langat sotkeutuvat yhä tiukemmin.

From Douglas Stuart, Booker prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo comes a stunning new novel, John of John. Set in the Isle of Harris, John of John is a tender and devastating story of love and religion, of a father and son, art and landscape, and the corrosive effects of living a secret life. It confirms Douglas Stuart as one of Britain’s greatest contemporary novelists.

From the Booker-winning author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo comes a vivid, moving, and beautifully crafted novel following a young man returning to his Hebridean island home, a portrait of a close-knit community and a fraying family, of a father's expectations and a son's desiresOut of money and with little to show for his art school education, John-Calum Macleod takes the ferry back home to the island of Harris to find that little has changed except for him. In the windswept croft where he grew up, Cal begrudgingly resumes his old life, stuck between the two poles of his childhood: his father John, a sheep farmer, tweed weaver, and pillar of their local Presbyterian church, and his maternal grandmother Ella, a profanity-loving Glaswegian who has kept a faltering peace with her son-in-law for several decades. Cal wonders if any lonely men might be found on the barren hillsides of home, while John is dismayed by his son's long hair and how he seems unwilling to be Saved. As lambing season turns to shearing season, everything seems poised to change as the threads holding together the fragile community become increasingly knotted. John of John is a singular novel about duty and patience and the transformative power of the truth. It is a magnificent literary work that shows Douglas Stuart working at an even higher level of artistic creation.

On aasta 1981. Glasgow sureb vähehaaval välja, linnas ellujäämiseks tuleb kurja vaeva näha. Ent Agnes Bain on elult alati enamat oodanud. Ta unistab millestki paremast: majast, mille välisust ta jagama ei peaks; elust, mis on korraga ostetud ja kohe välja makstud (nagu tema täiuslikud hambad, mis siis, et valed). Liiderdajast abikaasa jätab Agnese maha ja naine jääb koos kolme lapsega hävinud kaevanduslinna lõksu. Kui ta üha sügavamale pudelipõhja vaatab, püüavad lapsed teda päästa, kuid iseenda päästmiseks tuleb neil üksteise järel ema hüljata. Poeg Shuggiel jagub kõige kauem lootust. Shuggie on teistsugune. Ta on nõudlik ja pirtsakas, samasugune snoob nagu emagi. Kaevurilapsed narrivad teda ja täiskasvanud ütlevad hukkamõistvalt, et ta on veidrik. Kuid Shuggie usub, et kui ta kõigest väest pingutab, on ta ühel päeval normaalne nagu teised poisid ja aitab emal lohutust paigast põgeneda.

A story of queer love and working-class families, Young Mungois the brilliant second novel from the Booker Prize-winning author ofShuggie BainAcclaimed as one of the best books of the year by NPR,Kirkus Reviews,Time, andAmazon, and named a Top 10 Book of the Year by theWashington Post,Young Mungois a brilliantly constructed and deeply moving story of queer love and working-class families by the Booker Prize–winning author ofShuggie Bain. Growing up in a housing estate in Glasgow, Mungo and James are born under different stars—Mungo a Protestant and James a Catholic—and they should be sworn enemies. Yet against all odds, they fall in love as they find sanctuary and dream of escape in the pigeon dovecote that James has built for his prize racing birds. But when Mungo’s mother sends him on a fishing trip to a remote loch with two strange men, he will need all his strength and courage to find his way back to a place where he and James might still have a future.

REGRESA EL GANADOR DEL PREMIO BOOKER POR HISTORIA DE SHUGGIE BAIN «Un lugar para Mungo lo confirma: Douglas Stuart es un genio . -Ron Charles, The Washington Post «Un pu etazo directo al coraz n . -Publishers Weekly A sus quince a os, Mungo, un adolescente con una sensibilidad diferente al resto de los chicos del vecindario vive en un barrio obrero del Glasgow de la era post-Thatcher, en el seno de una familia protestante: sin padre, con una madre alcoh lica y un hermano que representa todo lo que l odia. En un ambiente masculinizado, rodeado de paro y peleas callejeras, solo cuenta con el apoyo y el cuidado de su hermana, Jodie. Tras un altercado familiar, su madre decide enviar a Mungo de pesca con dos desconocidos de Alcoh licos An nimos para que hagan de l un hombre de provecho. De camino a un lago del oeste de Escocia con esos extra os cuyas bromas de borrachos esconden un pasado turbio, Mungo solo piensa en regresar al lado de su amigo James, el nico lugar donde ha descubierto que puede ser l mismo. Douglas Stuart nos acerca, con una prosa l rica y v vida, al peligroso primer amor entre dos adolescentes en esta l cida y conmovedora historia sobre el sentido de la masculinidad y del deber para con la familia, las violencias a las que se enfrentan las identidades queer y los riesgos de querer demasiado a alguien. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Imbuing the everyday world of its characters with rich lyricism and giving full voice to people rarely acknowledged in the literary world, Young Mungo is a gripping and revealing story about the bounds of masculinity, the divisions of sectarianism, the violence faced by many queer people, and the dangers of loving someone too much. Growing up in a housing estate in Glasgow, Mungo and James are born under different stars --Mungo a Protestant and James a Catholic-- and they should be sworn enemies if they're to be seen as men at all. Yet against all odds, they become best friends as they find a sanctuary in the pigeon dovecote that James has built for his prize racing birds. As they fall in love, they dream of finding somewhere they belong, while Mungo works hard to hide his true self from all those around him, especially from his big brother Hamish, a local gang leader with a brutal reputation to uphold. And when several months later Mungo's mother sends him on a fishing trip to a loch in Western Scotland with two strange men whose drunken banter belies murky pasts, he will need to summon all his inner strength and courage to try to get back to a place of safety, a place where he and James might still have a future.

"Romanttinen, kauhistuttava, brutaali, hellä – ja lopulta varovaisen toiveikas."– Kirkus ReviewsRakkautta yli rajojen. Booker-voittajan uutuus antaa äänen unohdetuille. Kun Mungo tapaa Jamesin, työväenluokan toksinen mieskuva saa väistyä. Vuokrakasarmien Glasgow'ssa poikien ystävyys syvenee rakkaudeksi, joka uhmaa seksuaalisuuden ja uskon ahtaita rajoja. Mungo salaa todellisen minänsä, ei vain jengipomona pullistelevalta isoveljeltään, vaan koko väkivaltaiselta nurkkakunnalta. Ainoana turvapaikkana nuorukaisilla on Jamesin rakentama kyyhkyslakka. Ja yhteinen toive toisenlaisesta tulevaisuudesta. Nuori Mungo kertoo riipaisevasti ja julmanhauskasti yhteisöllisistä paineista ja siitä, miten vaarallista on rakastaa jotakuta liikaa. Douglas Stuart (s. 1976) kasvoi Glasgow'ssa yksinhuoltajaperheessä. 24-vuotiaana hän muutti Yhdysvaltoihin ja ryhtyi muotisuunnittelijaksi. Stuartin esikoisromaani Shuggie Bain voitti Booker-palkinnon vuonna 2020, ja sitä on ylistetty yhdeksi vuosisatamme onnistuneimmista kirjallisista debyyteistä. Filmatisointi on tekeillä ja kirjoja myyty jo yli miljoona kappaletta. Myös Nuori Mungo sijoittuu Glasgow'n vuokrakasarmien kahtiajakautuneeseen työläisyhteisöön ja rikkoo rohkeasti perin ahtaaksi käynyttä maskuliinisuuden myyttiä. Stuart asuu miehensä kanssa New Yorkissa.
