  • "When her boyfriend commits suicide, Scottish supermarket clerk Morvern Callar disposes of his body by chopping it to pieces, then heads for warmer climes to spend his money. The money gone, she returns home to learn--oh, joy--he had even more money and he left it all to her. So it is back to the sun."
  • "Morvern Callar, jeune Ecossaise employée dans un supermarché, mène une existence routinière à l'instar des habitants du petit port dans lequel elle a grandi. Le suicide de son ami fait souffler un vent inattendu dans sa vie : voyages, raves, rencontres, découvertes jalonnent un parcours fantasque au travers duquel va se forger sa personnalité."
  • "Een Schots meisje trekt zich niets aan van de zelfdoding van haar vriend en gaat gewoon verder met haar leven."
  • ""Morvern Callar, a low-paid employee in the local supermarket in a desolate and beautiful port town in the west of Scotland, wakes one morning in late December to find her strange boyfriend has committed suicide and is dead on the kitchen floor. Morvern's reaction is both intriguing and immoral. What she does next is even more appalling. Moving across a blurred European landscape-from rural poverty and drunken mayhem of the port to the Mediterranean rave scene-we experience everything from Morvern's stark, unflinching perspective. Morvern is utterly hypnotizing from her very first sentence to her last. She rarely goes anywhere without the Walkman left behind as a Christmas present by her dead boyfriend, and as she narrates this strange story, she takes care to tell the reader exactly what music she is listening to, giving the stunning effect of a sound track running behind her voice. In much the same way that Patrick McCabe managed to tell an incredibly rich and haunting story through the eyes of an emotionally disturbed boy in The Butcher Boy, Alan Warner probes the vast internal emptiness of a generation by using the cool, haunting voice of a female narrator lost in the profound anomie of the ecstasy generation. Morvern is a brilliant creation, not so much memorable as utterly unforgettable"--publisher's description."
