Life Is Not a Long Quiet River by Willy Slavin

Approaching old age need not be a thing to be feared. It can and should be a time of freedom and spiritual contentment.

'Exuberance, zest and maybe a touch of mischief come over in Slavin’s person and in his writing …The title is a nod to a 1988 French film Slavin loves which takes a satirical sideswipe at the Catholic Church and bourgeois morality. Elsewhere there are mentions of and reference to everyone from Socrates and TS Eliot to Bob Dylan and Frantz Fanon'

* Herald Magazine *

Willy Slavin has spent his life championing the cause of the poor. Working as a priest for 50 years in the most deprived areas of Glasgow and Bangladesh and in hospitals and prisons, he is also known for his role in the late-2017 installation of the Homeless Jesus sculpture on a park bench in Glasgow.
