The Slow Air of Ewan Macpherson

Growing up in Glasglow, Kansas, the son of a Scotsman devoted to his attempts to make a single-malt Scotch, Ewan MacPherson falls in love at the age of twelve with Shirley Porter, a devotion that follows him through adolescence into adulthood, through his diverse roles as high-school teacher, bagpipe instructor, son, and keeper of Scottish traditions.
