Douglas Stuart has said it is 'a lovely thing to be recognised by your home town'.
Author Douglas Stuart has said it is "a lovely thing to be recognised by your home town" after he was presented with an honorary degree by the University of Glasgow.
Speaking after the ceremony, he told the PA news agency: "I'm just incredibly proud to get the honorary degree from Glasgow University. Stuart has an MA from the Royal College of Art in London and has lived in New York City since 2000, where he has worked in fashion. He said: "My third novel I'm hoping will be part of a triptych of the work that I've been writing about, about Scottish masculinity, about loneliness, about how the country changed under successive governments, and at the same time how young Scottish men came of age, especially when they were on the margins, especially when they felt the loneliness that came from being queer in a country that was evolving quite quickly.
