About this listen
Written entirely in East Coast Scots, A Working Class State of Mind, the debut book by Colin Burnett, brings the everyday reality and language of life in Scotland to the surface.
Colin's fiction takes themes in the social sciences and animates them in vivid ethnographic portrayals of what it means to be working-class in Scotland today.
Delving into the tragic exploits of Aldo, as well as his long-suffering best friends Dougie and Craig, the book follows these and other characters as they make their way in a city more divided along class lines than ever before.

My only critique is that I wanted to listen longer, the characters made me feel like I had gone home.
Funny and heart-wrenching at the same time.

Written in Edinburgh Scots, this was really brought to life by the narrator, Patrick Wallace.
Forget the Trainspotting comparisons. These characters are just the sorts of folk you’d encounter on Edinburgh. I’m away to Tweet Colin to ask when the next book is coming out!
I really enjoyed this.
