Kirkland Ciccone

Kirkland Ciccone is the fab not drab author of Happiness Is Wasted On Me, a coming of age novel for adults set in Scotland’s infamous new town Cumbernauld during the ‘90s. It tells the story of an asexual protagonist named Walter, who finds himself trying to navigate life as an outsider among other outsiders. The book touches on Britpop, New Labour, the Spice Girls, and Kurt Cobain’s death. A live performer, Kirkland has toured Scotland extensively in support of his writing.
