Publisher Description

<h3>The classic Glasgow Memoir with a new introduction by Tom Morton</h3> <p>This is Clifford Hanley's vibrant, unsentimental and hilarious account of growing up in the 1920s and '30s, and his later working life as a radio broadcaster and journalist.</p> <p>His razor-sharp observations and anecdotes cover many topics, from family life, art and showbiz to politics, sex, TB and what it was like to be a conscientious objector during the Second World War. But even the most bittersweet stories are leavened with humour, and the irrepressible Glasgow spirit always shines through.</p> <p> </p> <p>'Hanley writes with consistent relish for his native city . . . captures Glasgow and its people nonchalantly and unfussily' – Ian Jack, The Guardian</p> <p>'Like a portal into a vanished Glasgow, but one where the city, its people – their foibles, hopes, humour and warmth – are instantly familiar' – Norry Wilson, Lost Glasgow</p>
