Description
Young Mungo is a powerful and poignant story about the complexities of masculinity, family, and love. Against the backdrop of a hyper-masculine and sectarian Glasgow estate, two young men, Mungo and James, form an unlikely bond over their shared sanctuary in a pigeon dovecote. As they navigate the dangers of their environment and the threat of discovery, they must confront the harsh realities of their world and the true nature of their relationship.
With rich lyricism and unflinching honesty, the author imbues the everyday world of his characters with depth and nuance, giving voice to people rarely acknowledged in the literary world. This gripping and revealing story explores the boundaries of masculinity, the violence faced by many queer people, and the devastating consequences of loving someone too much.
