James Yorkston announces new novel The Book of the Gaels
Scottish singer/songwriter and author James Yorkston has announced his second novel The Book of the Gaels.
The Book of the Gaels will be Yorkston's second novel, following 2016's Three Craws, and is set in rural West Cork in the '70s.
Yorkston said of the upcoming book, "This is it, this is The Book of The Gaels, a story that’s been with me for years... It took me a while to write it down, then a while longer to send it out into the world. I’m very pleased it was welcomed so warmly by Oldcastle, and of their help passing on the story of Joseph and Paul; twa brave wee lads."
Jarvis Cocker praised Yorkston's new book, saying, "I absolutely love this book... An unsentimental and unflinching miracle of remembrance. Get it read!"
The novel will follow Yorkston's 2021 collaborative album with the Second Hand Orchestra The Wide, Wide River.
