Dancing in the Streets
The Classic Glasgow Memoir
Sinopsis
This is Clifford Hanleys 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
