Morvern Callar is 18 years old, loves listening to loud music on her Walkman, and going to raves in the small Scottish port where she lives. She doesn't seem to care about much else in the novel bearing her name, even when her long-time boyfriend rather messily commits suicide in their kitchen. The book, written by first time novelist Alan Warner, is attracting a great deal of attention as a portrait of late nineties youth. It's also the latest in a stream of books from a group of Scottish Novelists, including Irvine Welsh of "Trainspotting" and James Kelman of "How Late it Was, How Late" who have taken the literary world by storm. Alan Warner reads from his work tonight at the Hungry Mind Bookstore
