Books hitlist

Imprint
A strong looking line-up for this East Ayrshire book festival with the likes of James Kelman, James Robertson and Jackie Kay in attendance.
Various venues, Sat 7–14 Nov.

James Ellroy
Borders Books and GFT, Glasgow, Thu 5 Nov; Century.

David Eagleman and Richard Holloway

Alasdair Gray
Here comes the launch of A Gray Play Book, an anthology of short plays, an unused opera libretto, a film script and excerpts from the pictorial storyboard of the novel Lanark.

Anthony Horowitz
With his ITV drama Collision about to hit screens, Horowitz seizes the moment by dropping by to chat about his vastly popular Alex Rider series.
Filmhouse, Edinburgh, Thu 12 Nov.

Frankie Boyle
He may have recently quit Mock the Week, but the Glasgow stand-up star is unlikely to slip from our minds for very long. Especially when he has a memoir to promote.

Attica Locke
A stirring debut comes in the shape of Black Water Rising, about ethics and race during the US civil rights struggle.

Ryan David Jahn
The brutal real-life slaying and the attendant ‘bystander effect’ results in another fine debut with Acts of Violence.
Macmillan
