Jack McLean's prose was something of a legend in the national press.
In the last two decades of the last millennium he created a reputation
for giving two fingers to any sector of the establishment which had
riled him. He has also dealt with some rather public figures in a
similar manner. His first volume of The Bedside Urban Voltaire was a
sell-out in printed format and this ebook edition accompanies the
re-issue of that first volume of work in electronic format. The
reading public who missed out on the printed formats can now be
regaled, bemused, infuriated and teased by this follow-up ebook.
Within McLean's inimitable style there is something for everyone.
Indeed the same column can evoke completely differing responses
depending on the audience and where it is read. Jack once brought the
house down at a bookshop reading about an invasion of rugby supporters
to his into his southside Glasgow flat, but the same material was
received with more sombre restraint in Islay. In Ullapool he was
simply heckled. This is perhaps Jack's USP. He is basically an
argument in a pub corner brought to life ... if you don't like what he
is saying, or the way he is saying it, then walk away. But we dare you
to do so.
