West Port Book Festival Podcasts

Author and literary editor Stuart Kelly is a closet fan of collective nouns, those brilliant and brain-bending terms that allow us to junk a dullard 'group' or 'flock' for many more interesting and apt alternatives. Author of upcoming "Scott-land" (Birlinn) and veteran of West Port 09 with his wonderful "Book of Lost Books", Stuart's event appeals to those who appreciate the linguistic greatness of a murder of crows, or the disparity between Sir Walter Scott's influence and his status.
