A year later, on a daily basis, the stories were published online before being collected into a single book. In 2013, James Robertson embarked on an unusual project: he wrote a story every day, each exactly 365 words long. Joseph Knight was the Saltire Scottish Book of the Year in 2003 and And the Land Lay Still received the same prize in 2010. The Testament of Gideon Mack was longlisted for the 2006 Man Booker Prize and selected for Richard and Judy’s Book Club the following year. He is the author of five novels, The Professor of Truth, And the Land Lay Still, The Testament of Gideon Mack, Joseph Knight and The Fanatic. The Saltire Society is delighted that our next guest speaker will be James Robertson, one of Scotland’s best-loved writers.
