Booker Prize winner. A tender, devastating novel set in 1980s Glasgow, following Shuggie Bain — a gentle, gay boy who loves his charming but alcoholic mother. A masterwork of intergenerational trauma, addiction, love, and the cost of being different in a harsh world. Widely cited as essential literary fiction for understanding the intersection of queerness, poverty, addiction, and masculine identity formation.
