“Orkney’s Prospero.” Episode 11 of a series of podcasts on the Slightly Foxed website.
Maggie Fergusson (GMB’s biographer) and Colin Waters (of the Scottish Poetry Library) “bring to light a writer who was at once a solitary soul and a raconteur, a lover and a drinker, a member of the Edinburgh literati yet fame-shy. From the oft-recited ‘Hamnavoe’ to the Booker-nominated Beside the Ocean of Time Mackay Brown’s work sings of his island roots, interweaving life and social history with myth and legend.”
The interview runs from 7:15 to 24:40 on the podcast.
