About Exiles
Exiles by Victoria McNulty takes a snapshot of Glasgow in the aftermath of the Iraq War, telling the story of a young couple navigating a city riven by militarism, gentrification, boredom and sin.
Recently released in print through Speculative Books, it draws on Glasgow’s working class heritage and imagines a post-industrial future, while challenging the perpetrators of state violence at home and abroad.
In this event, Victoria performs excerpts from a live adaptation she has created specially for Paisley Book Festival, and has a discussion about the work.
“Victoria pulls you in and commands your attention like few poets manage to do. Like Glasgow itself Exiles is political, unflinching and tender” - Matt Abbott
