A vital read for anyone who wants to understand just who the hell some men think they are
Alan Bissett was born in Falkirk in 1975. His acclaimed first novel, BOYRACERS, published whilst he was still a student, was based on his adolescent experiences growing up there. His ambitious second novel, THE INCREDIBLE ADAM SPARK, was extraordinarily well received and is now being turned into a play. He is a former English teacher and has lectured in Creative Writing at the Universities of Leeds and Glasgow. Alan is now a full-time writer and playwright, and is much in demand as a live performer of his own work.
