**Description:**
"Young Mungo" is the extraordinary and powerful second novel from the Booker Prize-winning author Douglas Stuart, known for his acclaimed work "Shuggie Bain." This novel offers a vivid portrayal of working-class life and a deeply moving story of the dangerous first love between two young men, Mungo and James.
Mungo and James come from different backgrounds, one Protestant and the other Catholic, in a hyper-masculine world where Glasgow's working-class youth divide themselves along sectarian lines and engage in territorial battles. Despite societal expectations that they should be enemies, Mungo and James become best friends and find solace in the doocot (pigeon loft) that James has built for his prize racing pigeons.
As their friendship deepens, they also begin to fall in love. However, they must hide their true selves from those around them, especially from Mungo's elder brother Hamish, a local gang leader with a brutal reputation. The constant threat of discovery and the potential consequences loom large.
The novel takes readers on a journey as Mungo's mother sends him on a fishing trip to a loch in Western Scotland, where he encounters two strangers with murky pasts. Mungo must summon his inner strength and courage to navigate a world filled with danger and uncertainty, all while hoping for a future with James.
"Young Mungo" delves into themes of masculinity, family dynamics, the violence faced by queer individuals, and the complexities of love. Douglas Stuart's storytelling imbues the everyday lives of its characters with rich lyricism, making it a gripping and revealing narrative.
