Shane Strachan and the Muriel Spark Society

Another amaBooks writer Shane Strachan has also appeared on the literary scene in Edinburgh, when he read from his short fiction collection Nevertheless: Sparkian Tales in Bulawayo at the Muriel Spark Society Annual General Meeting.

Olga Wojtas at The Saltire Society commented:
'Fascinating talk at the Muriel Spark Society AGM from Shane Strachan about his new book, Nevertheless, a series of short fictions celebrating Muriel Spark's 2018 centenary, The image on the screen behind Shane (below) is of the Lady Rodwell Maternity Hospital in Bulawayo, where Muriel Spark gave birth.'





Shane said that he
'Was very nervous before reading from Nevertheless for the Muriel Spark Society in Edinburgh, but they loved it so much I sold out of the copies I had with orders for more 😁 And apparently Muriel’s longterm companion Penelope Jardine also enjoyed reading it, which is a huge relief.'
