Cutting Room, The

Synopsis:
Rilke is a gay Glaswegian auctioneer who stumbles across a cache of disturbing pornographic photographs from the late 1940s while clearing the antique-stuffed house of a rich dead man. Do the photographs show what they seem to? Or are they an elaborate construct? Rilke s empathy towards the anonymous victim in these photographs develops into an obsession that takes him on a quest through every stratum of the city of Glasgow: a journey into the past that leads towards the present and some kind of truth.

Notes:
adapted by Tam Dean Burn from the book by Louise Welsh. The Cutting Room is Scotlands latest literary success. Inspired partly by hard-boiled American crime fiction and partly gothic literature, it is currently being translated into 12 languages and made into a feature film. It has been awarded the CWA John Creasey Memorial Dagger, BBCs Underground 2003 Award and shared The Saltire First Book Award. It was also nominated for the Orange Prize.
