Me too.
I'm happy with The Ghost as he is a novelist and journalist but none of the other seem right.
I'm lost on which one was not published in 2007 (from the 1st 10 books) now too. I thought all of the ones we have at the moment were published in 2007 so I must have lost track.

The Bob Dylan one was about 2000 so its that one.

Yes I see what you mean toniq, as O'Reilly is not a novelist. Have tried to look for novels by Hassan but cannot find any although he too has written non-fiction. Any ideas?

Could be

Scotland 2020 is a project that explored the connection between stories and thinking imaginatively about the future. This book attempts to inject a new quality to the debate about Scotland’s future – hope. The book contains specially commissioned short stories about the future by leading Scottish fiction writers.

The idea of story and storytelling is central to Scotland 2020, and contained in the book are five specially commissioned short stories about the future by leading Scottish fiction writers. Also included are essays and dialogues with internationally renowned thinkers. Their conclusion is that hoping for a better future for Scotland is not naive, but a pre-condition for acting to make it happen.

Gerry Hassan is leading commentator though rather than novelist
