<< Looking at amazon.co.uk, I see he wrote a couple
more books after that,
although they don't appear to be Laidlaws, The Big Man and
Doherty. Are they
crime fiction? How are they? >>
McIlvanney often writes about hard men who either can't
express themselves, or
can only express themselves through violence. The Laidlaws
have crime as their
focal point, and The Big Man is in the crime milieu. Most of
his other novels
and short stories (Docherty, Walking Wounded) talk about his
fictional
Scottish town of Graithnock.
