Wullie McIlvanney passed away earlier today, thoughts on his best works?

[Pretty Boy]

Docherty was one of the few books we had to read in high school I actually enjoyed. It tempted me to look further into McIlvaneys works and I read and enjoyed many of his books.

Agree Docherty was a fantastic book. Also loved Laidlaw. Brilliant writer like his brother Hugh. RIP.

'The Big Man' which was adapted into film starring Liam Neeson and Billy Connolly.

Laidlaw is one of my favourite works.

A lion of a writer.
