Douglas Stuart, Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo, is celebrated globally for his heartbreaking, funny and moving depictions of working-class life, identity and resilience. Born and raised in Glasgow, Stuart's fiction draws heavily from his own experiences growing up as a gay man in Margaret Thatcher's Britain. His debut Shuggie Bain received worldwide acclaim for its searing portrayal of poverty, addiction and one young boy's tumultuous relationship with his mother in 1980s Scotland. It was heralded as a masterpiece by many critics, and received the Booker Prize in 2020; to date, it has sold over a million copies. In his second novel Young Mungo, Stuart returned to the streets of Glasgow to tell an equally compelling story of vulnerability and strength. This coming-of-age tale delves into the forbidden love between two young men, set against the backdrop of sectarian violence and familial expectations. Similarly critically acclaimed, the book cemented Stuart's place as one of today's most compelling literary voices. In February 2025 Stuart joined us live on stage to discuss his literary journey, the inspiration behind his award-winning novels, and his insights on writing honest depictions of marginalised worlds rarely seen in the literary mainstream. With the respected production company A24 set to adapt both novels for the BBC, Stuart also discussed the process of bringing his characters to life on screen. ----- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

The Scottish-American writer Douglas Stuart talks about his Booker Prize winning Shuggie Bain. The powerful, heartbreaking story of a young boy's love for his addict mother, and a mother's chaotic love for her son.Photo credit: Martyn Pickersgill

Shuggie Bain is the heartbreaking story of a young boy growing up in Glasgow Scotland and being raised by his alcoholic mother. The story highlights the challenges Shuggie faces as he tries to navigate a spiraling home life and a bleak outside world of bullies and economic dispair. Jamey discusses this beautifully written and inciteful book with his friend John Schaeffler. 

En esta ocasión te comparto mis opiniones a partir de dos libros: "My beautiful boy: Siempre serás mi hijo", una memoria escrita por David Sheff e "Historia de Shuggie Bain", una novela de ficción a partir de las experiencias de Douglas Stuart; ambos enfocados al tema de las adicciones, y cuya lectura motivó esta reflexión acerca del amor y la codependencia emocional. En este episodio trato de no hacer spoilers para el contenido de los libros, por si tú estás interesado en leerlos. De igual forma, te recomiendo ampliamente la película adaptación de "My beautiful boy", que lleva el mismo nombre y es protagonizada por Steve Carell y Timothée Chalamet, estrenada en 2008 y dirigida por Felix Van Groeningen.

Es ist ein gnadenlos gutes Stück autofiktionaler Literatur, das Neil Smith mit "Jones" geschrieben hat. Gnadenlos, auch gegen ihn selbst – und in jeder Zeile ist zu spüren, das muss so sein, denn im Leben der Geschwister Abi und Eli werden früh alle Schmerzgrenzen gerissen. Wie präzise und unbestechlich er die Verfangenheit in der dysfunktionalen Familiendynamik einfängt, ist so klarsichtig wie bestürzend. „Shuggie Bain“ und Jeannette Walls' „Schloss aus Glas“ haben mich sehr bewegt, „Jones“ hat mir den Boden unter den Füßen weggerissen. Ein Zeugnis, eine Abrechnung, ein Denkmal für seine Schwester. Ich wünsche Smith alles Glück! Und euch wünsche ich auch viel Glück, denn Schöffling & Co stellt drei Bücher für eine Verlosung zur Verfügung. Die Aktion läuft bis Montag, 23. September 2024, um 17.59 Uhr. Schreibt mir eine Mail FeisteBuecher@gmx.de oder macht über Insta mit! Eine Auszahlung in bar ist nicht möglich und der Rechtsweg ist ausgeschlossen. Und bitte tut mir die Liebe und abonniert den Podcast. Ein sehr gutes, englischsprachiges Interview mit Neil Smith findet ihr hier: https://xtramagazine.com/culture/neil-smith-jones-228962 „Jones“ von Neil Smith ist bei Schöffling & Co erschienen. Brigitte Walitzek hat die 304 Seiten großartig übersetzt. Das Hardcover kostet 23 €. Folge direkt herunterladen

Recorded at the Hay FestivalSHUGGIE BAIN by Douglas Stewart ON THE BLACK HILL by Bruce Chatwin AGAINST NATURE by Joris-Karl HuysmansHarriett Gilbert takes to the stage in the BBC Marquee at the Hay Festival for a special edition of the programme recorded in front of an audience. Actor and writer Doon Mackichan known for her outrageous character Cathy in the sitcom Two Doors Down chooses Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stewart as her good read. It's a touching but heartbreaking tale of a young Glaswegian boy's desperate efforts to save his mother Agnes from the alcoholism that ruins and degrades her. It won the Booker Prize in 2020. As we're in Wales Harriett's fitting choice is Bruce Chatwin's On The Black Hill an account of rural Welsh life in the mid 20th century. It's the story of two brothers' lives over 80 years and their connection to land and community. Bruce Robinson actor, director and writer of the hit film Withnail and I which has been adapted for stage chooses a book that features in the final scene of the film. The I character places two books in a suitcase at the end of the film, one of which is A Rebours - Against Nature by Joris-Karl Huysmans. Bruce confesses that he's not the book's biggest fan but the ensuing discussion provides an entertaining insight into books we might read when we're younger and how differently we feel about them in later life. It's the story of an eccentric recluse Jean des Esseintes in 19th century France who loathes people and creates a fantasy world for himself but ultimately suffers from his self-inflicted pretentious ennui. "I wish I hadn't chosen this book" proclaims Bruce Robinson as he introduces it. "I wish you hadn't chosen it" agrees Doon Mackichan. They then elicit a lot of audience laughter from their deconstruction of this seminal French novel that all three find pretentious.This is a longer version of the broadcast programme.Producer: Maggie Ayre

En este nuevo podcast del Club de Lectura Bookake contamos con Ángela Vázquez, miembro del equipo de discurso en Más Madrid, para hablar de "Un lugar para Mungo", la última novela de Douglas Stuart. Después de ganar el Premio Booker 2020 con su primera novela, "Historia de Shuggie Bain", Stuart vuelve a la Escocia de su infancia durante los años 80 y 90 en un momento crítico para la clase obrera del país como consecuencia de las agresivas políticas de Thatcher. Clase, identidad, orientación sexual, masculinidad frágil, violencia en todas sus acepciones y política hacen de "Un lugar para Mungo" una novela durísima que muchos han comparado con "Tan poca vida". ¿Queréis saber qué pensamos nosotres al respecto? Pues dadle al Play.

Both interviews today are with author Douglas Stuart. The first is about his Booker prize-winning Shuggie Bain; a story based on his own life growing up a queer son of a single mother struggling with addiction. He told NPR's Scott Simon that he hoped people could find comfort in this story. Next, Stuart spoke to NPR's Ari Shapiro about his new book, Young Mungo. It's a story about two boys separated by faith who end up falling in love with each other. Stuart told Shapiro that when he "write[s] about heartbreak or sadness, I'm really only doing that to make the tenderness and the love shine more."

Over the Christmas period and into January I'm going to be replaying some of my quiet favourite episodes of 2022. This week is acting legend, national treasure (she hates that) and my old bird role model Sheila Hancock. This episode first aired in June.---Today's guest is nothing less than an acting legend. Although she probably wouldn't have any truck with that. Dame Sheila Hancock is that rare thing – a successful actor with working class roots, an 89 year old who's still beating off offers with a stick and a woman who refuses to be afraid to speak her mind.Sheila has done EVERYTHING from Shakespeare to sitcoms. A member of the National Theatre Company, she was the first woman to direct at the Olivier Theatre in her 50s and has been nominated for 6 Olivier Awards, written two novels and a loose trilogy of memoirs (the second of which was about her marriage to Morse and Sweeney legend, John Thaw). The third is Old Rage, which started out as a book about the wisdom and fulfilment of old age ended up…. not!Ninety next year, Sheila is taking less prisoners than ever. She joined me from her living room to talk education and inequality, corruption, climate change and Brexit, suffering from the empathy “disease” and why being seen as a strong woman is a double-edged sword. She also told me what it was like being a working class woman in TV in the 1970s, how she learnt the consequences of speaking out the hard way and why she's no longer bothering to conceal her rage. Sheila Hancock for PM!You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at Bookshop.org, including OLD RAGE by Sheila Hancock, Sheila's book recommendation, Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart, and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me!And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including transcripts of the podcast, please join The Shift community.

Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart Andy and Dani get really, really sad. Bring Whiskey Andy back, this book is sad, realistic shit show, fiction acting like a memoir, assuming the worst is going to happen, most devastating scene, and did we mention this book is sad? Warning: This book deals HEAVILY with alcoholism and relapse.

The Scottish novelist Douglas Stuart is a master of writing about tender souls in tough spaces. He is a tender soul himself, having grown up gay in working class Glasgow with an alcoholic mother (she  died when he was 16), an experience that informs both his debut novel, Shuggie Bain, which won the Booker Prize, and his 2022 follow-up, Young Mungo. In both books, Stuart has created indelible portraits of complicated mothers and their conflicted sons trying to navigate a hostile and soul-sapping world. “I'm always writing about loneliness and belonging and love,” he has said. “That's what keeps me coming back to the page.” Loneliness and belonging and love might also be what draws Stuart to the defiant heroine of Alan Warner's 1995 novel, Morvern Callar, and the tempestuous and violent world of 17th century soldiers in Cromwell's New Model Army in Maria McCann's As Meat Loves Salt, the two books he has chosen to talk about in this episode of Shelf Life.

Booker Prize-winning Scottish novelist Douglas Stuart speaks with Kathryn Ryan about his new novel, Young Mungo which is breaking hearts. Young Mungo develops into a romance between two teenage boys. Mungo is Protestant, James is Catholic. Their relationship is forbidden on so many levels. Set in the early '90s in hard-bitten Glaswegian tenements riven with sectarian violence, where unemployed former shipbuilders "rot in front of daytime tv" and real men prove themselves as thugs. Young Mungo is a story exploring the bounds of masculinity, the magnetism and disappointment of family, the violence experienced by many queer people, and the dangers of falling in love. Douglas Stuart is Glagwegian born and bred. He won the Booker Prize two years ago for his first novel, Shuggie Bain, finally trying his hand at writing age 40, after a glittering career in fashion design.

SHUGGIE BAIN đào sâu vào từng góc khuất tăm tối của Glasgow vào thập niên 1980 dưới thời Margaret Thatcher, qua đó hé lộ một câu chuyện xúc động về những mảnh đời chật vật trong cảnh bế tắc mà không thấy được ánh sáng. Bằng lối kể pha trộn giữa bi kịch với hài hước, tàn nhẫn với dịu dàng, lòng trắc ẩn với đau đớn tột cùng, SHUGGIE BAIN khắc họa nên bức tranh đầy ám ảnh về quan hệ gia đình, về định kiến xã hội, về sự tự nhận thức bản thân, về đói nghèo và tệ nạn. Khi con người ngập ngụa dưới đáy khốn khổ, họ hiến dâng mù quáng cho tình yêu, họ chạm tới giới hạn tưởng chừng vô tận, họ bám víu điên cuồng vào niềm kiêu hãnh và hy vọng để khao khát làm chủ vận mệnh. Cuốn tiểu thuyết đầy day dứt này sẽ khiến bạn phải khóc! THÔNG TIN TÁC GIẢ: Douglas Stuart sinh ra và lớn lên tại thành phố Glasgow, Scotland. Năm 24 tuổi, Douglas chuyển đến New York theo đuổi ngành thời trang sau khi tốt nghiệp Đại học Nghệ thuật Hoàng gia ở London. Douglas Stuart đến với nghiệp viết lách khá muộn nhưng cuốn sách đầu tay của ông - SHUGGIE BAIN - đã lập tức gây tiếng vang khi lọt vào đề cử giải Sách quốc gia Mỹ và giành giải Booker 2020. #TrạmRadio #RadioVănHọc #DouglasStuar __________ Để cam kết với bạn nghe đài dự án Trạm Radio sẽ chạy đường dài, chúng tôi cần sự ủng hộ của quý bạn để duy trì những dịch vụ phải trả phí.

 The 2020 Booker Prize winner, Douglas Stuart, spoke to me about his sensational second novel, Young Mungo. Stuart became an international writing sensation after his debut novel, Shuggie Bain, won the Booker, and gained him countless readers and fans in the literary world. In this episode, we explored the story of Mungo in great detail. As I summated in a review recently ( https://www.timeslive.co.za/sunday-times-daily/opinion-and-analysis/2022-05-19-book-review-the-quiet-violence-of-young-mungo/ ), "Young Mungo is set in Glasgow and tells the story of Mungo and his family. They are a working-class Protestant family, with plenty of trials and tribulations. His mom, Maureen, is an alcoholic. His brother, Hamish, several years older, is addicted to violence, and his sister Jodie, desperate to escape the horror of their circumstances, is forced to play mother to her younger brother Mungo because Maureen is never around."Stuart started off reading from a scene in which a neighbour, Mrs Campbell, appears to defend her husband who had beaten her up, resisting the moral criticism of him from young Jodie. We discussed, in some detail, the complexities of this scene, and the issues they surface, including the brutalising effect that working on the ships and in the mines had on many men in working-class communities. Without excusing domestic violence, Young Mungo examines the class fissures in 1980s and 1990s Glasgow and Britain that led to some of the social ills that are illuminated throughout the novel including alcholism, religious bigotry, domestic violence, etcetera. The whole episode is riveting. Have a listen!

Shuggie Bain (Douglas Stuart) - Scots Reading By Alistair Heather by VisitScotland

Today's guest is nothing less than an acting legend. Although she probably wouldn't have any truck with that. Dame Sheila Hancock is that rare thing – a successful actor with working class roots, an 89 year old who's still beating off offers with a stick and a woman who refuses to be afraid to speak her mind.Sheila has done EVERYTHING from Shakespeare to sitcoms. A member of the National Theatre Company, she was the first woman to direct at the Olivier Theatre in her 50s and has been nominated for 6 Olivier Awards, written two novels and a loose trilogy of memoirs (the second of which was about her marriage to Morse and Sweeney legend, John Thaw). The third is Old Rage, which started out as a book about the wisdom and fulfilment of old age ended up…. not!Ninety next year, Sheila is taking less prisoners than ever. She joined me from her living room to talk education and inequality, corruption, climate change and Brexit, suffering from the empathy “disease” and why being seen as a strong woman is a double-edged sword. She also told me what it was like being a working class woman in TV in the 1970s, how she learnt the consequences of speaking out the hard way and why she's no longer bothering to conceal her rage.

I invited Daily Maverick's Mark Heywood (himself an author, and also a well-known activist who has spent decades fighting for justice) to join me to talk about Young Mungo, the second novel written by brilliant Douglas Stuart. Stuart won the Booker Prize for his stunning debut, Shuggie Bain.I couldn't ask for a better guest than Mark. He has a deep love of literature and of reading - he really remains a student of literature - and he found the evocative writing of Stuart in both of his novels to be moving, and a brilliant exposition of important structural realities and injustices in Great Britain that endure beyond the 1980s. In this podcast episode, we delved into the major themes of these works (with a closer focus on Young Mungo). With Mark's intimate knowledge of the country where he spent time during his early years (he was schooled in Yorkshire), and of his beloved South Africa, he shone light on the many interesting layers beneath the shocking, dramatic and melancholic storylines of/in Young Mungo. The comparisons between Glasgow/Scotland, and our own community/communities here, are manifold. [Enjoy the podcast. Buy the book.

People become writers for myriad reasons - novelist Max Porter suspects that for him the crucial spur was his fascination with Bekonscot model village, which he visited scores of times as a child. It was there that he discovered the pleasure and value of people watching at a life-size and miniature scale. In A Life In Miniatures he returns to Bekonscot to celebrate not just the care, craft and love that have gone into its construction, but also the opportunity it affords to create complicated stories out of the various people and scenes on show. He interrogates whether these places are necessarily escapist and reactionary or offer a more radical opportunity to critique society. He visits Jimmy Cauty of KLF fame to hear about the dystopian model village he has toured around the world in a shipping container and talks with Douglas Stuart, author of Shuggie Bain, about the miniature appearance of a miniature village that appears in that book. Max also speaks with academic Melinda Rabb about the rise of miniatures in 18th Century England - and how smart phones are keeping the tradition alive in various unexpected ways.

EXTRA SPECIAL EPISODE ALERT! Enjoy this full-length Literary Salon with Douglas Stuart, hot-off-the-press! Last week we held a very special evening with Douglas in conversation with Damian at an in-person Salon in Brighton - it was an incredible conversation, and we're still thinking about it. So join us as we celebrate Douglas' brilliant new novel 'Young Mungo', the story of two boys, two tribes and two Scotlands. Catholic James and Protestant Mungo live in the violent, macho world of Glasgow's council schemes. They dream of escaping the gangs and the grey, fractured city. Will their dream come true? 'Thanks so much for a wonderful Salon Damian. I could have listened to Douglas all night. Such a tender, interesting and poignant interview.' - Araminta Hall Young Mungo is out now and a definite must-read for 2022.

Author Douglas Stewart writes vividly about addiction, love and queer adolescence in working-class Glasgow. He wrote Booker Prize-winning "Shuggie Bain" and the new novel "Young Mungo." And, Michael Madigan was the speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives for 36 years, the longest reign of any legislative leader in the country. A new book tells the story of his rise from Chicago machine politics and his fall from grace amid a corruption investigation.

“I knew that after writing this sweeping family portrait that goes over about 40 years in the Bain family's history, that for my next novel, I wanted to write something that was very focused, that was quite propulsive, and quite edited in the scope and the time that we spend with the characters. And so, for me, it was about romance. It's about that love between these two young men.” Douglas Stuart has charmed more than a million and a half readers with his National Booker Award and Booker Prize-winning debut novel, Shuggie Bain. Douglas joins us on the show to talk about his incredible new novel, Young Mungo, optimism, writing about the working class and being gay, masculinity, love, mobility, Margaret Thatcher's legacy, the importance of having a plan before you sit down to write, the writers who inspire him, and much more with Poured Over's host, Miwa Messer. And we end the episode with a TBR Topoff segment featuring Margie and Marc.   Featured Books: Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart How Late It Was, How Late by James Kelman Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy   Poured Over is hosted and produced by Miwa Messer. This episode was mixed by Chris Gillespie. Follow us here for new episodes Tuesdays and Thursdays (with occasional Saturdays).   A full transcript of this show is available here.

Both interviews today are with author Douglas Stuart. The first about his Booker prize-winning Shuggie Bain; a story based on his own life growing up a queer son of a single mother struggling with addiction. He told NPR's Scott Simon that he hoped people could find comfort in this story. Next, Stuart spoke to NPR's Ari Shapiro about his new book, Young Mungo. It's a story about two boys separated by faith who end up falling in love with each other. Stuart told Shapiro that when he "write[s] about heartbreak or sadness, I'm really only doing that to make the tenderness and the love shine more."

Douglas Stuart is the 2020 Booker Prize winning author. His story is one of survival, perseverance and defying people's expectations. Douglas' incredible debut novel Shuggie Bain was inspired by his upbringing in Glasgow, a time when he describes himself as a young queer son of a single mother struggling with addiction and poverty. Following his mother's death, Douglas fended for himself and remarkably went on to study fashion at the Royal College of art in London where he was recognised and moved to New York to work for some of the biggest fashion brands in the world. He still lives in New York but now finally, after many rejections, as a writer, an acclaimed writer. Revisiting his past and putting pen to paper changed everything for him. His writing is so immersive, due to his granular descriptions of the worlds his characters inhabit. They struggle against and around brutal violence and substance use and always with the backdrop of relentless poverty. His stories are sad, and frightening and viscerally told. His books take over your world and you can't forget them. Here he shares the story of his life changes with Annie. Stuart's second novel Young Mungo will be published this Thursday (14th April).
