Indelible Ink: Special Edition ‘The Year of Open Doors’
‘Novels are full of padding, they’re clearly objectionable’ Paul Reekie ‘Submission’ The above quote is one of my favourites and comes from the 1996 short story collection ‘Children of Albion Rovers’.

You Have Been Watching… The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
This week’s featured film is a bona fide classic, and, like Muriel Spark’s 1961 novel from which it is adapted, much more subversive and controversial than many would give it credit for.
