Literary success catapulted writer Damian Barr into a life of champagne, air kisses and loved up stability. It’s a million miles from his chaotic childhood in North Lanarkshire where the local community (and swathes of Scotland) were sustained through the miners strike by the steelworks at Ravenscraig. But when he’s commissioned to write his memoir, the book that eventually become Maggie & Me, Barr’s brought up short against a world he’d rather forget.
