Essays 2: Grouse Beater
A new collection of essays from ‘Grouse Beater’ is an event. Gareth Wardell’s first 5-star reviewed collection of essays made an immediate impact on people who were questioning Scotland’s place in a colonial reality. This second and longer collection is filled with new work, part personal, part political, always entertaining. There is wicked pleasure is every essay.
“Reading Gareth Wardell’s essays over the years, I liked how he educates, explains and enlightens the reader; often a simple line, a sentence leaves you inspired. He conveys his thoughts and ideas clearly, the accumulation of a lifetime of experiences. I admired his honesty so much I made him godfather to my son, Aaron.” Jon Davies, Master Craftsman.
“Gareth Wardell’s output keeps one step ahead of the zeitgeist. His writing stands head and shoulders above bloggers, columnists, and the paid opinionist. His research is sound and incisive. His arguments are thought provoking, a constant education. His wit is rapier sharp, his prose riveting and often moving.” Patrick Doyle, Movie Composer
“For a predominately Scots audience, Gareth Wardell’s thought-provoking polemic is written with the passionate conviction, forthrightness and respect characteristic of the man himself.” Eva Menuhin, Ghost Writer
