Duncan Lunan 2010 interview

In 2010, I interviewed Duncan Lunan. A lot has changed since then: both of us have gotten married for a start! Some mutual friends have left, a Sarah has arrived, and Mr Lunan has had, I'm glad to say, something of a career renaissance. The piece this was for was to be the typical article length, but, as you'll see, Duncan provided the younger (and, dare I say, somewhat untactful) interviewer with a treasure chest of memories and insights going back fifty years. With his own permission, I re-print the entire thing here.

The Watcher

The Watcher

A new story of mine has been published by Bewildering Stories Issue 439. The Watcher is entirely auto-biographical, apart from the bits I made up. Another Glasgow ghost story, the parts which are based on cold fact, and the bits which are writer embellishment, I leave to your imagination.

Simon and Hugh aren't based on any particular academics, but are an amalgamation of bits of various different academics I've known over the years.

This story came to me on Christmas Day 2005 (technically Boxing Day) around 4am, walking back home after I had seen my friend Louise safely home after a get together. And not six years later, here it finally is, readable.

By my standards, that is positively swift!
