	BBC - collective - Alan Warner
		Warner was among them, but his rise has been a quieter affair.
		Warner's fictional landscape circles the cold and distant Port, loosely based on his home town of Oban in north Scotland.
		This time, Warner's story-world exploded in epic style, set at the end of the millennium on an island scarred by air crashes and populated by assorted damaged people, all heading for The Drome hotel.

		Warner's characters are carefully crafted and highly memorable and posses many of the qualities of archetypes.
		Warner has peopled his novel with an odd assortment of characters, yet each one is perfect and perfectly-drawn.
		Warner, however, is one of the most talented writers now at work and this book is superbly told with Morvern's own independent and unflinching frankness.

	Morvern Callar, Anchor, Alan Warner
		Alan Warner's Morvern Callar may be the first novel that deserves its own soundtrack.
		The music Warner's title character listens to as she drifts aimlessly through her sterile life may be the most worthwhile part of this depressing novel.
		Warner tells this dreary story from Morvern's point of view in a voice that is flat and affectless, as if the girl's soul had died years before though her body continues to function.

	Morvern Callar by Alan Warner, 0099586118, Lowest Book Price Finder
		Alan Warner is spot on with his portrayal of life in a small West Highland port.
		Warner's narrarive style draws heavily on the style in which real life Highlanders tell each other tales of the week's wildness when they meet up down the pub.
		Alan Warner never writes about what Morvern feels, only what she does.

	The Village Voice: VLS: Babes In Boyland
		Alan Warner bristles at the idea of "Scot Lit," every inch the artiste so busy doing his own thing he's got no time for aesthetic tag-teaming.
		For all his Now Wave cred, Warner's a modernist at heart, committed to the fragmented inner lives of his creations and their capacity to grasp the absurd, awful world.
		But Warner's hardly the sort to fall into third-person-clinical; instead he loads the decentered narrative with such keen dialect that the voice is at once hyperstylized and teen-casual, a transparent intimacy allowed to float amongst untethered stories.

	Alan Warner, Morvern Callar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The success of Alan Warner's first two novels, Morvern Callar and These Demented Lands, have won him a place in the circle of young writers known as the "Scottish Beats" -- writers who are redefining postmodernism as we know it.
		Warner's deft ear for speech and thought patterns gives us a believable voice; Morvern comes alive as the epitome of youth in the '90s.
		Warner doesn't hold back in his depictions of the rave scene, or of Morvern search to relate to the people around her.

	Alan Horn, Warner Bros.
		Alan Horn: No. The reason is starting with Jo Rowling's book "The Chamber of Secrets," followed by Steve Kloves' screenplay.
		It's an area of the business that we ought to be in, and we are looking at it again, but it is not a priority because our priorities are to get the slate out.
		So when (Warners consumer products chief) Dan Romanelli walks in and says, "Look, I think I can contribute a lot on 'Superman' or 'Batman' because we have a deal with this toy manufacturer or that game manufacturer." That to me represents a sort of in-company quasi-partnership because we are realizing risk mitigation from another source.

		Some of this material does feel gratuitous, as though Warner's hand slipped while he was adding his measure of squalor to the mix.

		Warner highlights how even the strongest group of friends are divided to some extent by their own personal and social insecurites.
		Some times funny, sad and moving, Warner examins, but never judges, the motives of a directionless generation who after the failure of socialism in the 80`s and the triumph of consumer culture during the 90s feel they have no real future.

	Salon \| Sneak Peeks
		Morvern's reaction to the suicide is vintage blank generation amoral: She disposes of the body, plunders her dead boyfriend's bank account and submits his novel to a London publisher after putting her name on it.
		It's easy to see how his death (and his money) gives Morvern a chance to escape (it's a clue that one of her favorite videos is Antonioni's "The Passenger," about a man who tries to make a new start by swapping identities with a dead man).
		But Warner doesn't allow her any uneasiness, and that feels like a concession both to hipness and to all the clichéd editorializing about what the jacket copy calls "the vast internal emptiness" of today's youth.

		After the competition, the bus has them back home in time to worm, wriggle and flirt their way into the local watering hole (all of them are underage), where they're hoping to meet sailors from the submarine that's just docked.
		Warner pushes the action forward with dialogue that skitters and hopscotches almost randomly.
		For a man, Warner understands the hearts and minds of girls pretty well; a love scene in one of the girls' bedroom is astonishingly tender and awkward.

	Alan Warner, These Demented Lands (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Rather, Alan Warner's second novel (a sequel of sorts to his highly praised first novel Morvern Callar) is a manic, eerie and sometimes hilarious foray into the postmodern literary landscape.
		However, Warner's characters possess an archetypal quality that lends a dark, post-apocalyptic fantasy feel to the novel.
		Warner's novel has one of the strangest cast of characters I've ever encountered: a DJ determined to throw the biggest rave the island has ever seen, a cigar-smoking fat man who assesses candidates for sainthood, Brotherhood (owner of the Drome Hotel) and a myriad of other minor, though just as interesting, characters.

	The Sopranos - Alan Warner
		With his third novel, The Sopranos, Scottish author Alan Warner opens a window of time on six catholic schoolgirls as they travel with their choir to the capital to take part in a nationally-televised competition.
		Warner has produced a comic gem that burns with an important message about innocence and the relentless march of time.
		Spinning their wheels on a road littered with pregnant classmates and with little confidence in the lives awaiting them at the journey’s end, they know a secret that so often fades from adult memory: the trip, not the destination, sustains life, and standing still will kill you — kill the better part of you, anyway.

	The Richmond Review, Book Review, The Sopranos by Alan Warner
		Alan Warner has somehow managed to tap into the insanity and hysteria of adolescent femininity and depicts it with vigour and tenderness.
		Through these five very ordinary girls, Warner presents a celebration of the lusty enthusiasm and invincible optimism of youth and at the same time a tragic portrayal of the inevitability of loss and wasted potential.
		Warner’s disjointed, colloquial writing combines Scottish dialect with a kind of universal teenage diction and the result is fluid, exhilarating and charged with energy.

	Morvern Callar - Alan Warner
		Warner's true forte is his deadpan rendering of the idiosyncratic trappings of Morvern's morbid world.
		Morvern (who narrates the book) is a peculiarly jaded lass, and her take on the world (as exemplified by her attitude towards her suicided boyfriend) has a certain perverse appeal.
		Warner writes quite solidly, with a good feel for conversation (bizarre though these exchanges often are).

	Warner/Onetti
		Warner's latest novel, These Demented Lands (1997), is dedicated not only to Mark Richard (The Ice at the Bottom of the World) and Michael Ondaatje (The English Patient), but also to "Juan Carlos Onetti (1909-1994)".
		Warner's first novel Morvern Callar (due to appear as a film made by the BBC) portrays the eponymous 21-year-old heroine, first seen living with her boyfriend on a cheap housing estate and working in a supermarket in a coastal town reminiscent of Warner's Oban.
		Her characterisation is always external: we come to learn what Morvern is like through her behaviour and her senses, along with the odd frugal comment made to her friends; she comes across to the reader, and to the other characters, as an enigmatic, fascinating person.

	Eye - Fall Book Guide - Fiction - 11.05.98
		Off-your-face excess, true, but Warner is a cut above many of his Scottish (and English) contemporaries.
		There's a strange wit and elegance in Warner's first two novels, Morvern Callar and These Demented Lands, which, like this new novel, capture the vagaries of Scottish small-town boredom and the casual attitudes toward self-destruction shared among their young people.
		Warner's only real indulgence, for which I love him, is a penchant for obscure musical references: like his first hero Morvern Callar (who was inexplicably a fan of hardcore free-jazz types like Last Exit and the Decoding Society), one girl here has an unlikely familiarity with Holger Czukay of the '70s German improv-rock band Can.

		In a four-novel career, Alan Warner has created two highly successful and distinct voices: more than many talented novelists manage in a lifetime.
		It is a testament to his energy and range that he has ditched each of these - the glassy deadpan of Morvern Callar and the hooched-up babble of The Sopranos - to start again.
		Warner writes like Irvine Welsh on one of his numerous off-days.

		Meanwhile, DJ Cormorant is trying to organize The Big One, a rave on the adjacent airstrip, and from all over These Demented Lands come twisted characters, converging for one final Saturday night at the Drome Hotel.
		Although those unfamiliar with the first novel might feel a bit lost, Warner's inventive prose and intriguing characters (especially the unpredictable Morvern) are the hooks here and ample evidence of the author's large talent.
		Too many of the characters are too similar, and Warner's deployment of religious symbolism is heavy-handed.

	The Sopranos - Alan Warner
		Warner lets them cavort through the big city, and then in the disco back home, adolescent stumbling and experimentation (with alcohol and sex).
		With a good ear for pop culture and teenage girls' concerns Warner's dialogue rings fairly true -- though much of it is mundane and trite.
		A few of the episodes (including one girl's story about trying to make love to a fellow patient in hospital) are a bit rich, but generally Warner strings together a decent tale.
