Rodge Glass

Rodge Glass is the award-winning author of eight books including three novels, a graphic novel, a collection of short stories and a hugely acclaimed biography – Alasdair Gray: A Secretary’s Biography, which won winner of Somerset Maugham Award for Non-Fiction. He is currently a Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Strathclyde, where he is the Convener of the MLitt in Creative Writing.
He has been a fan of Suede since he was fourteen years old, when their 1992 magazine covers became his wallpaper, early photo shoots peppering his bedroom walls. He recorded Suede songs off the radio when he was supposed to be doing homework. He listened to live recordings on tape until the tapes died. In the three decades since, he’s seen the band live in their heyday and at multiple celebratory, post-reunion shows.
