05/26/2022 12:01 AMBy the author of Shuggie Bain, this story of two best friends, Mungo and James, falling in love and then having to navigate a hypermasculine society, shows off Stuart’s extraordinary talent. Rarely does a reader get genuine working-class and criminal characters, as they do here. Complicated family members and friends, rather than serving as tertiary characters, are the true heroes of this story.
