The Classic Glasgow Memoir

Beschreibung

This is Glasgow journalist Cliff Hanleyâ s sparkling, unsentimental and uproariously funny account of growing up in the Gallowgate and then Shettleston in the 1920s and 1930s and his working life as a radio broadcaster and journalist in the 1940s and 1950s. One of the great Glasgow classics, first published in 1957, back in print after many years.
