Matthew Fitt's extraordinary science-fiction novel But n Ben
A-Go-Go is a fast-paced cyberpunk thriller. Like many SF novels it
is a conscious comment on contemporary life; with its
groundbreaking use of the Scots language, it challenges orthodoxies
and raises questions about how we communicate, with the world and
with ourselves. Christine Robinson's SCOTNOTE study guide explores
and explains the novel's complex plot, its characters and its
creative use of language. This guide is suitable for senior school
pupils and students at all levels.
Dealing with grammar in a modern way, with modern terminology, this
book gives readers an understanding of the way language works.
Providing readers with the vocabulary to think about and discuss
Scots, English and other Modern languages, Modren Scots Grammar
fits with the Curriculum for Excellence in that it provides the
grounding for readers to undertake further exploration and discover
language for themselves. Furthermore, this book aims to give
readers confidence in using the Scots language. It is important for
young Scots today to realise that Scots is not just bad English,
but a language in its own right. Increasing understanding of the
differences between the two will improve the use of both.

Edinburgh. With particular attention to the pronunciation and

Lisbon: some years on from the bloodless revolution of 1974. A
sculptor in the prime of life has rediscovered love and reviews the
many women that have shaped the man he is today. From his mother
and household servants to his wife and his countless other sexual
partners: he is trying to decide what the next step should be in
his relationship with Y, his ethereal new love. On his journey, he
discovers a language of 'womanlike words', and with these he
conducts a love affair that leads ultimately to this tangible book.
Lucky in Love can be seen as a modern rendition of the Roman myth
of Janus, the god of doors, gateways; he was also believed to
ensure happy endings, but in the case of this novel, the successful
outcome of the narrator's two parallel love affairs is left
tantalisingly to the reader's judgement and imagination.
