Preferred Lies by Andrew Greig Pdf

A book about golf that will appeal to both players and non players, by Scottish poet and novelist. Surely golf is a game for posh people, country clubs and networking businessmen, for unfortunate sweaters, politics and trousers? Andrew Greig grew up on the East coast of Scotland, where playing golf is as natural as breathing. He sees the game as the great leveller, and has played on the Old course at St Andrews as well as on the miners' courses of Yorkshire. He writes about the different cultural manifestations of the game, the history, the geography, the different social meanings, as well as the subjective experience, the reflections between shots. He plays alone, with friends and brothers, with ghosts. He is looking for the essence of golf, the pure heart of it, which can be found, Andrew Greig believes, on the free 9 hole course on North Ronaldsay.

Preferred Lies by Graham Pryor Pdf

Stephen knew that something bad had happened. After all, he'd been there, hadn't he, he'd been a part of it. But how bad it was he could never be sure. Everything seemed to conspire against his knowing. A decade later, as a young man, an unexpected opportunity to discover the truth presents itself. Only, is it the truth he wants to discover? This speculative adventure threads its way dramatically across three episodes of twentieth century cultural upheaval, through the struggle and aftermath of the first and second world wars to the social revolution of the 1960s.
