On Thursday the 18th of September at 7.30 pm, Topping & Company Booksellers in St Andrews hosts Michael Pedersen for a reading from his first novel, Muckle Flugga. The story follows a remote lighthouse and its keeper, his son and the unpredictable arrival of a writer from Edinburgh. Pedersen, an award-winning poet and Edinburgh’s current Makar, explores themes of shifting relationships and survival in an island setting. The evening includes a reading, audience Q&A, and a signing session—tickets can be booked with the purchase of the book. Attendance offers a chance for an early glimpse at a much-anticipated new voice in Scottish fiction.
