Dancing in the Streets : The Classic Glasgow Memoir

The classic Glasgow Memoir with a new introduction by Tom MortonThis is Clifford Hanley's vibrant, unsentimental and hilarious account of growing up in the 1920s and `30s, and his later working life as a radio broadcaster and journalist. His razor-sharp observations and anecdotes cover many topics, from family life, art and showbiz to politics, sex, TB and what it was like to be a conscientious objector during the Second World War. But even the most bittersweet stories are leavened with humour, and the irrepressible Glasgow spirit always shines through. �'Hanley writes with consistent relish for his native city . . . captures Glasgow and its people nonchalantly and unfussily' - Ian Jack, The Guardian'Like a portal into a vanished Glasgow, but one where the city, its people - their foibles, hopes, humour and warmth - are instantly familiar' - Norry Wilson, Lost Glasgow
