James Yorkston on Callum, Reine, Sylvie, and Sparrow
The East Neuk's own James Yorkston returns with a wry, tender and quietly life-affirming novel about the people who shape us, the places that stay with us and the unexpected paths that lead us home.
From rural Scotland and the west coast of Ireland to Paris and beyond, musician and journalist Callum retraces the people, places and moments that have shaped him.
Reine, Sylvie and Sparrow are among those whose paths become entwined with Callum's, each leaving an indelible mark on his understanding of love, loss and what it means to find a place in the world.
From bitterly cold Irish loughs and Parisian flea markets to discos, bird hides and the Top of the Pops studio, Callum's memories gather and overlap, revealing a life in vivid fragments.
James Yorkston is a singer-songwriter and author from the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Since signing to Domino Records in 2001, James has released a steady flow of highly acclaimed albums worldwide. James' debut novel 3 Craws (2016), has been studied in schools and colleges in the UK and America.
