At a moment when, after centuries of desire and unrest, independence seems to be a real possibility for Scotland, Scottish-born, Berlin-based musician\/author\/journalist Momus, real name Nick Currie, offers a delirium of visions, practical and absurd. Momus, who describes himself as a polymath-dabbler, suggests that the real Scotland is free to embrace or reject this parallel world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\" class=\"\" data-sleek-node-id=\"UX63nf\"\u003e\u003cem data-sleek-node-id=\"591FG0\"\u003eInventive, relaxed and enjoyable, it imagines 156 different Scotlands, ranging from delightful to dystopian\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cstrong data-sleek-node-id=\"S4DTdK\"\u003eJULIAN GOUGH, The Guardian\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-sleek-node-id=\"6vkaLa\"\u003e\u003cem data-sleek-node-id=\"QuwYN0\"\u003eThe Book of Scotlands is a considerate, deeply generous take on the life of this country and its possible futures.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong data-sleek-node-id=\"j4o4Vt\"\u003ePAT KANE, The Scottish Review of Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-sleek-node-id=\"q2GDNS\"\u003e\u003cem data-sleek-node-id=\"bepH73\"\u003eI don’t think I am overstating it to say that The Book of Scotlands will be read and reread, studied and assessed centuries from now for what it says about early 21st century Scotland. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong data-sleek-node-id=\"JJbwpO\"\u003eGERRY HASSAN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-sleek-node-id=\"3OumoF\"\u003e\u003cem data-sleek-node-id=\"QP4Mfu\"\u003eIf The Book of Scotlands reads at times like a knowing amalgam of Calvino, Donald Barthelme and Georges Perec, It is also not wholly removed from the whimsical world of Ivor Cutler.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong data-sleek-node-id=\"NDlVUj\"\u003eBRIAN DILLON, The Guardian \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-sleek-node-id=\"LJJjFM\"\u003e\u003cem data-sleek-node-id=\"ghBAlA\"\u003eAn anthology of one – Momus has the perfect blend of wit, yearning, solipsism and exile with which to compose a prophetic book for a pretendy poetic nation that prefers to dream itself, rather than be itself. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong data-sleek-node-id=\"6rIOvi\"\u003eALEC FINLAY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- Why You'll Love This Ebook --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love This Ebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnthology of varied Scottish voices, stories, and perspectives.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCelebrates the diversity of Scottish experience and culture.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished by Luath Press, Scotland's leading independent publisher.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA rich tapestry of what it means to be Scottish.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- About the Author --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNick Currie, more popularly known under the artist name Momus (after the Greek god of mockery), is a prolific songwriter, blogger and former journalist for Wired.
