Published to mark John Herdman's 80th birthday in 2021.

Writers, academics, publishers and literary figures from Britain, Europe and North America came together to celebrate Scottish novelist and critic, John Herdman.

The cast of Not Dark Yet are John Herdman's contemporaries and friends, his students and readers.

This celebration of John Herdman is witness to the strength of admiration that exists for this Scottish writer's work, a body of writing that extends over a period of seven decades.

And seven decades is impressive - especially for a man who is only just turning eighty.
