Shuggie Bain
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2020
Stuart Douglas
It is 1981. Glasgow is dying and good families must
grift to survive. Agnes Bain has always expected more from life. She dreams of
greater things: a house with its own front door and a life bought and paid for
outright (like her perfect, but false, teeth). But Agnes is abandoned by her
philandering husband, and soon she and her three children find themselves
trapped in a decimated mining town. As she descends deeper into drink, the
children try their best to save her, yet one by one they must abandon her to
save themselves. It is her son Shuggie who holds out hope the longest.
Shuggie is different. Fastidious and fussy, he
shares his mother’s sense of snobbish propriety. The miners' children pick on
him and adults condemn him as no’ right. But Shuggie believes that
if he tries his hardest, he can be normal like the other boys and help his
mother escape this hopeless place.
Douglas Stuart's Shuggie Bain lays
bare the ruthlessness of poverty, the limits of love, and the hollowness of
pride. A counterpart to the privileged Thatcher-era London of Alan
Hollinghurst’s The Line of Beauty, it also recalls the work of
Édouard Louis, Frank McCourt, and Hanya Yanagihara, a blistering debut by a
brilliant writer with a powerful and important story to tell.
