Description: |
Thomas Clay, 1960s Glasgow slum-dweller, father-in-waiting and wordsmith manque, stumbles through the drink-sodden world of the Gorbals underclass on a mini-odyssey of self-discovery. |
Synopsis: |
"Swing Hammer Swing!" is Torrington's first novel and set in the Gorbals, Glasgow in the late sixties. It concerns the life of Thomas Clay who, when Christmas approaches, realizes that the goodwill does not apply to him. He is unemployed, laden with a pregnant wife and pursued by gangsters. Laced with black humour, the result is almost comical. |
