Author: Alan Warner
Title: Morvern Callar
Description: Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 1997 Paperback, 260pp. An utterly unforgettable novel that portrays a vast internal emptiness by using the cool, haunting voice of a young woman in Scotland lost in the profound anomie of her generation—from â€oeone of the most talented, original and interesting voices aroundâ€� (Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting ). Morvern Callar, a low-paid employee in the local supermarket in a desolate and beautiful port town in the west of Scotland, wakes one morning in late December to find her strange boyfriend has committed suicide and is dead on the kitchen floor. Morvern's reaction is both intriguing and immoral. What she does next is even more appalling. Moving across a blurred European landscape—from rural poverty and drunken mayhem of the port to the Mediterranean rave scene—we experience everything from Morvern's stark, unflinching perspective. (ISBN: 9780385487412). Fair.
