Gerda Stevenson has mined the seams of ballad, song and folktale to produce these eldritch and uncanny stories, and delivers them in a Scots that wonderfully demonstrates the richness and vigour of the language. JAMES ROBERTSONStevenson’s mastery of the short story genre in CAT WUMMAN is breathtaking – a blend of simplicity coupled with profundity that is difficult to match. These magnificent yet haunting short stories about the tragedies and joys of human existence leave readers with a strong sense of hope whilst educating them through their delicately crafted tapestry of cultural influences. Written in a beautifully accomplished Scots, they highlight Stevenson’s pioneering work in making this language, intrinsic to Scottish culture, accessible to diverse audiences and give a voice to the Scots-speaking communities in today’s Scotland.
