Author Douglas Stuart grew up queer, lonely and afraid in Glasgow. That's why his newest book, 'Young Mungo,' is about queer connection and love.
writes about his home city and its people, he wants his reader to feel immersed in working-class Glasgow.
Stuart gives his readers vivid descriptions of Glasgow. But he wants them to take away something universal about being an outsider, struggling with addiction and caring for one another, he told“I think many people can relate to Shuggie, because they’ve felt like an outsider in the place that they live,” says Stuart. “Or they can’t fit in. Or they’ve tried to change themselves in some way.”“I only ever use darkness in my fiction to really compress the diamond at the heart of it,” he says.
“My mother became a single mother through no choice of her own. She suffered with alcoholism my entire childhood from my earliest memories up until she died one day when I was 16, quite quietly. And so from that place of grief and loss and just that human struggle is why I wrote ‘Shuggie Bain.’
