Paperback. Zustand: New. With nascent love abandoned and the recurring presence of the creeping 'wrinkled-nosed' laundry man of a traumatic childhood, the stagnating life of Pagan must be revived by the discovery of a somewhat questionable raison d'etre the assassination of an aristocrat. The spleenful nature of Herdman's titular protagonist and a selection of odd experiences perfectly sets up a strife deep within himself: can and how can Pagan commit to his partially bookfound life-calling, tangled into his pilgrimage?In these partnered publications, Pagan's Pilgrimage and A Truth Lover, John Herdman expertly demonstrates his capacity to evoke complicatedly moralising characters with haunting effect. In both works, the protagonists toil and struggle with the brutal world that birthed them, leading to quivering encounters - equal parts absurd and ephemeral.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Living as if an outsider, but functionally ingratiate to normal social circles, Duncan has his morality rocked by bearing witness to a violent act. Where can one land on judgement of abject behaviour when inflicted upon a person, perhaps more abject than the act itself?Pressure to testify pushes Duncan into various forms of escapism and a consequential number of captivating encounters, all whilst trapped in a brooding vacuum of self-reflection.Herdman's writerly magic is an underappreciated facet of Scotland's continually great literary output.…

Synopsis: The anthology's depiction of Scottish life.will engage American readers."" - Publishers Weekly. ""The souls of the young men.mirror the landscape of his homeland: flinty, often desolate, but marked by sudden glimpses of remarkable beauty. His prickly, misanthropic heroes set outrageous tasks for themselves as they wrestle with questions of free will and objective truth, intellectual pride and redeeming humility.These are classic tales of alienated, cerebral young men who rely on antisocial action to attain a higher truth and self-knowledge.Their cool intelligence is tempered with humor and, ultimately, a humane vision that redeems them from their self-imposed fates"" - NY Times. From Publishers Weekly: With mixed results, each novella in this Scottish collection centers on a solitary, arrogant protagonist undergoing a self-imposed humbling experience that ultimately heightens his awareness of his place in the world. In "A Truth Lover," Duncan Straiton's decision not to testify after witnessing a pub brawl spurs an affected soul-searching examination ("Yet what is my self?") cum philosophical speculation ("Had not Jonah become united to the truth of God?") but never provides the reader with a satisfying understanding of Duncan. It is the honest, likable voice of Horatio Pagan, the narrator of "Pagan's Pilgrimage" who decides it is his destiny to rid the universe of a local aristocrat, that best conveys a mental journey. While "Clapperton," the appealing story of a zoologist's sudden decision to humiliate himself at a party, has a more lighthearted tone, it likewise involves an exploration of the human psyche and thus cannot avoid a bittersweet ending. Overall, the anthology's depiction of Scottish life and its unique voices ("Away wi' ye, laddie, there's nae music here!") will engage American readers. Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.
