Angus MacPhail is the child of failure .While his adoptive brother tries to save Scotland for socialism by robbing banks, Angus, representing the bastard majority, is happier working for number one. Not that he is happy. Having alienated a succession of women by his dour self absorption, he finally ends up in a cosily incestuous relationship with his adoptive sister.
PENning, the Writers in Exile Committee’s biannual online journal, presents work by Scottish PEN’s member-writers alongside writing from people living in Scotland who are from other parts of the world.
