À propos de cet audio
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE GLOBE AND MAIL • NPR • KIRKUS REVIEWS • TIME • AMAZON • THE WASHINGTON POST • THE TIMES (UK)• DAILY HIVE • THE TELEGRAPH • FINANCIAL TIMES • THE GUARDIAN • LITERARY HUB • THE HERALD (UK) • READER’S DIGEST • VANITY FAIR • LOS ANGELES REVIEW OF BOOKS
"Young Mungo seals it: Douglas Stuart is a genius." —The Washington Post
From the Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain, Young Mungo is both a vivid portrayal of working-class life and the deeply moving story of the dangerous first love of two young men.
Born under different stars, Protestant Mungo and Catholic James live in a hyper-masculine world. They are caught between two of Glasgow’s housing estates where young working-class men divide themselves along sectarian lines, and fight territorial battles for the sake of reputation. They should be sworn enemies if they’re to be seen as men at all, and yet they become best friends as they find a sanctuary in the dovecote that James has built for his prize racing pigeons. As they begin to fall in love, they dream of escaping the grey city, and Mungo must work hard to hide his true self from all those around him, especially from his elder brother Hamish, a local gang leader with a brutal reputation to uphold.
But the threat of discovery is constant and the punishment unspeakable. When Mungo’s mother sends him on a fishing trip to a loch in Western Scotland, with two strange men behind whose drunken banter lie murky pasts, he needs to summon all his inner strength and courage to get back to a place of safety, a place where he and James might still have a future.
Imbuing the everyday world of its characters with rich lyricism, Douglas Stuart’s Young Mungo is a gripping and revealing story about the meaning of masculinity, the push and pull of family, the violence faced by so many queer people, and the dangers of loving someone too much.

I was lead to this book by chance, i don’t even remember exactly how it happened but I will be forever grateful that it did. I read a lot, it is by far my favourite pastime, i can safely say I read in excess of a hundred books a year. Having said that, it’s not very often that I stumble across a book quite like Young Mungo. I’m not even sure how to put it into words, it made me laugh, cry and think. These characters became real to me, I cared about them in a way that rarely happens. I finish a book and move onto the next, it hasn’t been like that this time, days later I can’t stop thinking about. I never wanted it to end, I became so invested in the characters I want to know more, what became of them, how did their lives turn out. It will take a long while before I’m ready to move on from this book (I think I’ll have to read it again first!!). Lastly but far from least, the narrator is amazing, it took me a minute to get used to the Scottish accent (even after listening to my mother in law for 40 years!) but now I’m looking for other books he’s done just so I can hear him again!! Do yourself a favour and read this book, you will not regret it.
Simply awestruck, Tre!
Awestruck!!
