News Of The Dead with James Robertson

Stirling Libraries are delighted to be hosting author James Robertson at the Kirk Rooms in Strathblane. He will be talking about his latest novel News Of The Dead as well as his very interesting and varied career.

James Robertson has often been described as the quintessential storyteller and a chronicler of Scotland. So much so that you can almost imagine gathering round the fire and being spellbound by the stories that he tells. James was born in 1958 and grew up in Bridge of Allan, Stirlingshire. A poet, editor, novelist and publisher, he is an active and prolific writer, and was the first Writer-in-Residence at the Scottish Parliament. His novel Joseph Knight won the Saltire Society Book of the Year in 2003 and the Scottish Arts Council Book of the Year award, and in 2010 his Scottish epic And the Land Lay Still won Robertson a second Saltire Society award.
