I've read shuggie bain and I've heard so many people say this is verrrry similar and based on the content I may give it a miss. I did find shuggie to have interesting plot shifts which are written well but it could have been 100 pages shorter imo 😊
Have you read a A Little Life? If so, did you have a similar feeling of events being unbelievable? I loved A Little Life but personally I found it gratuitous and a disconnect at times because it seems beyond the realm of likelihood. I didn’t feel like that with Young Mungo though, so would be interested to hear your thoughts.
ah yeah... see, with A Little Life, it seemed clear that HY was pushing the boundaries of genre. It seemed like an opera/tragedy or something, and leant in to the melodramatic. With Mungo it felt like he was trying to do 'proper' realism and I think that's why I didn't get on with it...
