Boyracers

By (author) Alan Bissett

Since its first publication in 1999, “Boyracers” has established itself as a contemporary Scottish cult classic. It is a totally fresh, savvy and supremely honest take on being young, naive and hopeful, and the pains of living life at hyperspeed in a mad pop-culture world. It is fast, pacy and funny – a breathtaking joyride through the formative years of four Falkirk teenagers.

Alan Bissett

Alan Bissett was born in Falkirk in 1975 and attended the University of Stirling. He currently lives in Glasgow. He is the editor of Damage Land: New Scottish Gothic Fiction (Polygon); his most recent novel is Death of a Ladies’ Man.
