Synopsis

From Glasgow Without Love is an evocative collection of ten compelling stories that encapsulate the intricate tapestry of human experience, inspired by a cold shivering night the author slept at the Buchanan bus station, Glasgow. This work explores themes of love, immigration, and identity through the lens of diverse characters navigating their realities. From the heart-wrenching journey of a black immigrant facing deportation in the titular story to the tragic aftermath of a queer one-night stand in ‘One Gay Night’, each narrative delves deeply into the struggles and triumphs of its protagonists. Set between Nigeria and Glasgow, the characters in the collection reveal the chaotic vibrancy of modern life by bringing a vivid context to these poignant tales. Interweaving humour and heartache, this collection masterfully captures the essence of resilience and the universal quest for connection, ultimately illuminating the beauty and complexity of the human spirit.

    "The last time I saw the ocean was my first beach vacation to Pancake Shores in 1958.” 
    When the Thompson twins invite 12-year-old Wilson to go to the beach with them in the summer of 1958, he couldn’t say no. This was way more exciting than going to the vacuum cleaner museum with his family. But, once the kids arrive at the beach house and find there’s no adult supervision, Wilson’s excitement turns to panic. 
    To his relief, Wilson makes a new friend on the pier who helps calm his anxieties for a moment. The moment only lasts until Wilson discovers something on the beach. Something that causes him to never return to the ocean for the rest of his life.
