_The Year of the Whale_ is optional, _Greenvoe_ is essential.
Amazing the number of Scots who were one-novel writers -- possibly even
Alasdair Gray, when it really comes down to it.
Hogg ... George Douglas Brown ... LGG (if we count _The Scots Quair_ as a

Bit worrying that.
At least Brummies don't carry that curse.
