Gutter 09

Perfect for fans of Granta and Five Dials, the magazine features short fiction, novel extracts, poetry, and reviews from both previously published and unpublished writers

Gutter Magazine is an outstanding independent literary magazine publishing fiction and poetry from writers born and living in Scotland. The work collected here is in turns diverse, delicate, and dangerous. But with contributions from every corner of Scotland, all the major countries of Europe, Canada, both U.S. and Asia, it is, most of all, global in attitude. Gutter doesn't hold to any particular political outlook but wholeheartedly believes in the power of the creative imagination to challenge the status quo. Issue 9 includes Andrew Crumey, author of Mr. Mee; Gillian Philip, author of the Rebel Angels series including Firebrand, Elizabeth Reeder, author of Ramshackle; Juliet Conlin, author of The Fractured Man; Jen Hadfield, winner of the TS Eliot Prize; and John Glenday, author of Grain.
