SHORTLISTED FOR SALTIRE SOCIETY NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR
Following the success of his 2014 title Danderlust, journalist Peter Ross has returned with his second edition of writings, delving into the warm, wonderful and wacky lives of the members of public we never get to meet.
Quirky, hilarious, always engaging and often moving, The Passion of Harry Bingo enters the lives of some of Britain's least known but most amazing characters. From Orkney to the Sussex coast, we are introduced to the Sikh pipe band and Wall of Death riders, herring queens and drag queens, crazy golfers, Harry himself, and still following Partick Thistle in his nineties.
This second selection of Peter Ross's sideways looks at life in Scotland - and beyond - celebrates diversity and highlights the beauty of the everyday in this nuanced and sympathetic account of post-referendum life.
'This is newspaper reporting at its most distinctive - engaging, quirky, amusing and moving.' - Scottish Island Explorer
