Warner tells this dreary story from Morvern's point of view in a voice that is flat and affectless, as if the girl's soul had died years before though her body continues to function. Morvern Callar is a strange mix of shocking and banal, a mélange with appeal for a very specialized audience.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. He'd cut his throat with the knife. He'd near chopped off his hand with the meat cleaver. ' It is off-season in a remote Highland sea-port- twenty-one year old Morvern Callar, a low-paid employee in the local supermarket, wakes one morning to find her strange boyfriend has committed suicide and is dead on their kitchen floor. Morvern's laconic reaction is both intriguing and immoral. What she does next is even more appalling. . . Brutal, erotic, jarringly poetic and rich in a blood-dark humour, MORVERN CALLAR is a powerful debut novel from a new Scottish writer. In this novel with a young female narrator, Alan Warner shifts the focus away from the female-dominated urban realism of much contemporary Scottish fiction towards a new and disquieting hyper-realism set in the Highlands and hallucinatory Spanish resorts. MORVERN CALLAR is a novel for which it would be hard to find comparisons; it marks the arrival of an extraordinary new writer. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003116096
