Re Agnes Owens mentioned awa up there somewye ^^^^^ she gets a bit of PR in Birlinn Books’ weekly newsletter which hit my inbox today: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AGNES! Sunday will mark the centenary of the birth of Agnes Owens, a brilliant but much overlooked Scottish author. Throughout this year we are republishing her entire collected works and sharing her wonderfully frank and deadpan writing with a new generation of readers. The first four titles, with introductions by Kirstin Innes, Heather Parry, Kirsty Logan, and Dani Garavelli, are published now, with three further titles coming this September. These new editions have already been receiving some glowing praise in the media: 'This unsung writer can make you laugh and shock you on the same page' - The Times 'A working class genius... darkly comic' - The Observer 'What under­pins this black com­edy is Owens’ authen­tic por­trayal of 1950s work­ing­-class hard­ship' - Daily Mail 'One of the most arresting and distinctive voices of twentieth century literature' - BBC Radio 4 Front Row”
