Description
The debut publication from The Common Breath brings together the work of two friends:
Alan Warner is author of eight novels - the first being the highly acclaimed Morvern Callar in 1995, the most recent Their Lips Talk Of Mischief, 2014.
Brian Hamil is a writer of fiction and essays, as well as an editor and publisher, having had a variety of different works published in his name over the past decade.
They met through the S.B.T. Mentorship program in 2013, and have collected these works of fiction as a mark of artistic kinship over the period since.
These stories move from Mull’s windswept beaches to the darkened back from of a Glasgow strip club, from night time on snow covered slopes to the claustrophobia of a bizarre bus journey, but what develops through the differences in setting and style is a shared commitment to local culture and language, to warm humour, and most of all, to listening for the characters to emerge and express themselves within the text.
