Arranged chronologically and introduced by journalist and Glasgowphile Alan Taylor, the book includes extracts from an astonishing array of writers. Some, such as William and Dorothy Wordsworth, Dirk Bogarde, and Evelyn Waugh, were visitors and left their vivid impressions as they passed through. Many others were born and bred Glaswegians who knew the city and its inhabitants-and its secrets-intimately. They come from every walk of life and, in addition to professional writers, include anthropologists and scientists, artists and murderers, housewives and hacks, footballers and comedians, politicians and entrepreneurs, immigrants and locals. Together they present a varied and vivid portrait of one of the world's great cities in all its grime and glory-a place at once infuriating, frustrating, inspiring, beguiling, sensational, and never, ever dull.
