Bookface Sip & Swap with Liam McIlvanney
Come join us for a fun and cozy afternoon at Saints of Ingram in Glasgow on Sunday 13th July from 3-6pm.
Professor Liam McIlvanney is an award-winning crime writer and academic, known for his gripping, atmospheric thrillers. Born in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, he studied at Glasgow and Oxford before building a distinguished career in Scottish and Irish literature. He taught at the University of Aberdeen before moving to New Zealand, where he holds the prestigious Stuart Chair of Scottish Studies at the University of Otago.
