A stunning new collection of short stories about the perils, problems and preoccupations facing the modern man.
Never shy to tackle the difficult subjects, Brian McCabe has given voice to an impressive range of modern men, from the Priest entering a massage parlour, to the boys on a French exchange, from a man who smashes his computer in frustration, to the married guy so busy that he has to make a date with his wife for sex. Young, old, dysfunctional and average, this collection covers them all.
McCabe's effective use of Scottish vernacular adds to the individuality and credibility of his characters and his often understated prose and thought-provoking content is witty and entertaining. This is a highly polished collection.
Brian McCabe is considered to be of Scotlands finest writers and poets, and he is currently the William Soutar Writing Fellow in Perthshire. His poetry collection, Body Parts won a Scottish Arts Council Award in 1999. A Date With My Wife is his third collection of stories.
