A review by shemjaw
Maggie & Me by Damian Barr

funny hopeful reflective sad fast-paced

3.5

V compelling insight into what it was like to grow up gay and in poverty in 1980s Glasgow (Shuggie Bain could never!!!) Funny with a clear narrative voice. Skated over some kind of important details but I think that comes from being very detailed elsewhere. Not sure how I feel about the Maggie apologism but interesting ideas about being different and wanting to leave your community behind (relatable)
