Jack McLean - aka The Urban Voltaire - was one of the most original
columnists in the Scottish press. In the 1980s and 1990s he became an
institution with a loyal readership as well as a healthy number of
opponents and critics. This is a compilation ebook edition of his
columns from the Glasgow Herald and The Scotsman and are guaranteed to
entertain, enrage and shock in equal measure depending on your
outlook. Very few subjects escaped McLean's distinctive penmanship
over those two decades: education, sport, religion, food and women all
find a place in the mix. His writing moves speedily from affectionate
reverie in one paragraph to scathing wit the next leaving some readers
laughing at one moment and setting with indignation the next. McLean
is one of modern journalism's great stylists, a proponent of the
written word and remains one of Glasgow's most recognisable icons.
Above all he is still great company.
