The half million selling classic novel of the Glasgow slum underworld.

No book is more associated with the city of Glasgow than No Mean City. First published in 1935, it is the story of Johnnie Stark, son of a violent father and a downtrodden mother, the 'Razor King' of Glasgow's pre-war slum underworld, the Gorbals. The savage, near-truth descriptions, the raw character portrayals, bring to life a story that is fascinating, authentic and convincing.

Reviews for No Mean City

Here's a book for the Studs Lonigan addicts, a sociological document in fictionized form that cried for publication, though its very bestiality will offend some and disgust and dismay all. Sordidness - brutality - horrors - in a story of Glasgow slums, which makes The Furys nursery reading. A tale of a slum boy who grew up to be a razor king - a slow passage of degredation. It's not for queezy stomachs! (Kirkus Reviews)
