The imaginative new novel from the author ofMorvern Callar, soon to be released in film. After the scandalous theft of a pub's World Cup cash kitty, a homeless drifter pursues his eccentric uncle, "The Man Who Walks", into the Highlands to recover the money. The nephew's frantic progress and other bizarre diversions form Alan Warner's fourth, wickedly hilarious novel. But who is The Man Who Walks? Is he simply a water-carrying madman with one glass eye and a fondness for whisky, who collects old Christmas trees for money and old newspapers to make his home? Or is he a savant, touched by the hand of God, wandering the back roads along ancient, ancestral tracks?
