ODe is the 'Hard Mln'convicted of murder who spent six years of his fifteen year sentence determined to the limit of physical endurance to be the rothless, violent immovlble 'us' to what he saw IS the equally violent 'them' of the prison authorilies.This is the Boyle, portrayed by Billy McCol1, on the Itlge of Edinburgh 'I ROYII Lyceum Theatre this month, It the start oflhe path that eventullly leads vii the Barlinnie prison Special Unit (the plly's NutClackerSuite) tothe other Boyle J immy Boyle loday is a good looking, amusing man of modest Slature but coOliderable prescncc. He doesn't look his 42 years let alone like I man who fought his way Ihrough one of Ihe toughest of Gorbals' upbringings and spent most ofhis life behind locked doors in a world of bloodily realised aggression. In prison he mentally and physically (with much brutality) iesisted all attempts by the authorities to make him accept their regime. lbc reaction was notoriously hanh; five years of his sentence was spent in solitary: in the iDfamous 'cages' he oovered hil naked body in hilown excrement in an altempt to diloourage the 'ICJeWS' from beating him up; perhaplthe first 'diny protest'. Now he is neatly dressed in casual clothes looking a litde like In off the track athlete -only the long but not prominent scar on his DeCk hinling at anything else. Lounging in the empty bar of the Lyceum with thero-writer of the play And yAmold fOf company, he Iooksquile at home. < It is not the IOrt of place I would come 10 every month or even every year', Boyle saysofthe Lyceum. 'It ila bil decadent, poocy, but it is Ihe people, like the administrator lan Wooldridge who hasOOTnefrom TAG (the Citizens' touring ::ompany), whoare much more important.' In fact lbc Nutcracker Suile was not intended for I large itage originally and was concdvcd like Boyle'l first play about prison life The Hard Man written with Tom McGrath as a very intimate piece, Amold who hasgiven up his full time job with Edinbugh'sTheatre Workshop to ooncentrate on writing, approached Boyle with the idea for the second play; 'He had to convince me,' says Boyle. 'I was sick of writing or doing anything with Jimmy Boyle - and I promise this will be the last.' However it is Icharacter, which has almost taken on mythical proportions, thltean't be left alone; 'I've a1wIYS been fascinated in theatre basedon reallives:says Amold ellplaining why he was allractcd to writing the Boyle ItOry: 'btopaphicaltbeatre that tackles social issues'. But for Boyle himself, it is the social issues that are clearly more importanl. 'It's not necessarily just about Jimmy Boyle. I wasattraeted to doing the play bÂŤause of the issues that I represcnt- it is another platform forme to air myvic:ws.11'1 not I prison officer bashing play; much more it isprilOn officers and prisoners togelher bashing the 2 The Ult4-170et0ber

BOYLE'S

DOUBLE Jimmy Boyle talks to Nigel BilIen about The NUlcrackerSuite. hierachy of the system' , 11)'5 Boyle. Forsome who !\ave followed the traruition of Boyle from mean Glasgow criminal to dedicated social worker he has, by a dramaticdevioe, too neatly come to terms with the violence in his past-violence for which he was in manycascsdirectly responsible. Thecharleterthat 5185hed peopleouwde prison and was part of bloody riots inside is now an inteUectualiud playeriD a (for Boylc) more important drama which figures as ill villain a society that, both inside and outside prison, give5 people like Boyle little chance of living civilised lives. 'Tbe violence in my past is very much the violence thal ellists in the people in the lOrtof areas that I come from. The inspiring thing about the 1I0ry of Jimmy Boyle is that there art talenlllhatthe educa!ionallystem didn 'I try to ClIplore, didn't Iry todeveJop.' Th~ Gateway, Boylc'lcentre in Edinburgh for deprived youngsters, some with prison sentencn behind lhem, others with drog problcml, is there Boyle sa)'lto 'show tbat Jimmy Boyle is noellception. Whit I am sayiog is that it isa pity that land so many others have gone to waste in the societywe !\ave to live in'. But Boyle has now, by dramatising and writing aboul hi51ife, forced himself to live oons!antly Ik>ng side The Hard Man, oootent to use his aller ego 15 a metaphor for society's destruetivellCS5. He i5 himself'a different persoo now' and one who can oope with with violence from others; 'I deal with it quite alol in real life now-Iloto GI85gow at least twice a week now and violence il very much a pan of of the problems I tackle, and I don't react to it, it'lno longer pan of my personal agenda. But, Boyle ilseD5itive and you ean't help feeling there il a personal involvement to the re-telling of his 1I0ry in books and plays beyond the pUlling aCT0S5of issues. Only lilt week, BoylerushedtoaSNP meeting to attempt to aD5wcr a criticism of the Gateway's drug programme, demanding the right to reply but failing to obtain it. The need to plthil case in such personal lerms oould be the legacy of the years in prison when he had tOlufferthe mischievous writings of the press; 'It wllheaped upon me, and I had no

redrw.1 oouldn'ttalk back or respond to the things thlt were said about me by people in very responsible positions.' He describes as a public disgrace the people who having held public offICe h.ve then allacked him in the press 'prostituting' tbeir office and ClIperience - 'We've got to challenge and question society because ,f we leave it to them they will fill their pockets and ron.' There is more than a hint of personal satisfaction (u well as a very genuine distress It what hu happened tothe Special Unit)when Boyle tellsoftbeell memberoflhe Unit'5 Itaffthat had come to him for ajob reference. It il an endorsement o(Boyle'l beliefin the Specill Unit which, like the lbout face ofsome politicians from his own cily, who attacked him wbile in prison but now oovet his appearances on the lime platform, that amounts to I belated 'right of reply'. 'They're playing the game, not me; they're changing lheir views, not me' ,5Iys Boyle. Nevertheless, when the cunain rises on Th~ Nweroder Suit~, Boyle will once again be putting himself and hischaraeteron vk:wto the public. Despite the fact he says he haslnalysed hirnselftiU heis 'blue in the face' and 'Iknowmyselftilll'm lick ofseeing it', it is almOll as ifhe needs the character to be portrayed on his own terms: '1be point i51've never had the chana: to leave that Jimmy Boyle behind, despite the fact I say I never murdered anyone,l'm 'Killer Boyle' - I've got to live with it because if I don't I'll crack up - and one thingis for fuckinglure, they're not going 10 do that to me. I'll take lhemon all the w')l.I don't care who Ihey are. I'll be positive and coTl5lruetive but I know their game and I'm not going to fall for it. And if theyean'l cope with that then that'1 their problem.' Jimmy Boyle is It ill fighting, It ill holding out. Now only his goal5 have changed. He wants to change society but has rejected poHlkI. 'it COTTUplS' - and thu5, he islefr with his own rC50urceful toughness. Our photographer wants to take him on to the balcony of the bar for a picture. Boyle offers to kick the door down to live us getting the key. Jimmy Boyle plays with his reputation, makes it the subject of hilgood humoured jokel but he knoWlthat the same powerful tool used to put across issues is also partly a selfimposcdaoss he has to bear- a constant reminder of his violent past which is by now public property. He seems 10 sense the uneasy relationship. He worriel (Of his baby daughterwhowiU have to grow up with the reputation bUldepile having the financial security to bow out of the bailie and live a more private life, he won't. 'What would I be ronDing .wayfor? I'd just he crealinganotherprison for myself. I feel too bigacommitment to waste myCllperienccs.' He looks relued but inside he seell1500iled tight ready to fight for his social causes. 'I hope there may come a time when I can say I have done alii can do but I think I may never be able to say that. '

I1 has. of course. been increasingly obvious for some time that .•fler decades of deprivalion - nOI entirely unconnected with the annual Festival activity in EdinburghOrdes.ide is nowcncrgctically reasserting itself as the cultural centre of gravity in Sc:olland for at least 49 weeks in every year.

Hung_rlanArls In GIIIIIOW. then, is jusllDOthcr gesture ofconfidence in that respect. Certainly Glasgow Disuiet Council is showing the only kindor confidence that mattcrsby providingsomcoflhe financial

wherewithal in spite of the present economic straits, and by awarding whal is really a Feslival of Hungary full civicstatus. The powemousc, however, is Third Eye Centre and the prime mover all along has been ils DireClor, Chris Carrell whose first visit to Hungary in 1980 triggeredoff a movement that has caught up almost every arts organisation in the city in its wake, attracting funding from load and central sources alike as well as from Ihe authorities in Budapest. Originally the thing was to be fairly straightforward - a major exhibilion

ofcontemporary Hungarian art wilh someOflhe artists present in person. BUI the idea soon began to burgeon and develop - one almost said get out of hand, but 00, neverquile thatinto something allogether more ambitious; a Fe5tival of Hungarian Arts covering all bUI prohibilively costly full-scale drama. However. a Rimbaud double·bill is to be seen al the Tron Theatre, slarring lhe young actor Lazlo Galffi.known here for his performance as mad King Ludwig in Tony Palmer'sepic Wagner film. And the Hungarian Folk Enscmbleofsingers and dancers, prediClablycolourful and popular. will give one performance at the City Hall. Musicwill feature prominenlly throughoutlhe season with Hungarian composers represented on almost c:veryprogramme. Most of the musicians involved, induding the Budapest Wind Ensemble and the Budapest String Quartet ",,11 be visiting Glasgow forthe first time, but Gustav Feny6, soloist with the Ensemble in the Beethoven and Mozart quinlets for piano and winds. has been based in Glasgow for some years. GusIAv FenyO is also billed to give a recilal of works by Liszt, Bartok, KodAly and the most eminent Hungarian composcrofour own time, Gy6rgy KurtAg. One recital, in the BurreD Gallery (now a \'ery popular and. it must be said, an especially atmospheric venue for such events) will inlroduce uSlOthat traditional Hungarian instRlment, thecimbalom, althe hands oftlO'o virtuosi Mart' Fabian and Agnes Sz.aUly.

Nobody, then. should he surprised to find that film makers. too, have a strong presence on the programme as planned. At the Glasgow Film Theatre, each week bcginswith a Monday programme of feature films; ellperimental and documenlary films from the famous B~la BalhsStudio will be seen in three programmes at the Third Eye Studio Theatre; and a seleClion of animated films from the Panonnia Film Studios will be shown at the same intimate venue. For the rest, there are leClures, poetry readings (notably the work of AllilaJ6zscf, read in translation byGlasgow'sown Hungarian-speaking international poet, Edwin Morgan). gastronomic and wine-tasting events-the list gaeson and on. Butlhe major ellhibition which set the ball rolling in the first place remains the central coreofthe season, even though toellperience the work ofall18selected participants will necessitate a tour of no fe"'·er than 7 galleries throughout the city. including the Schoolof An and Glasgow Arts Centre. The work seleCled byChris Carrell with art critic Paul Overy and Mana

Kovaloyszky of the KingStephen Museum. Szekesfehervar (in which the whole idea seems to have originated) is noticeably unaffected by the current cult of brash and outsize figurative imagery which has run wild across weslern Europe and into the Scottish art schools. The inner turmoils and stresses of life. no less pressing or painfUl, one would suppose, in Hungary than on Clydeside, are for me, more potently ellpressed through the controlled nervous intensily which makes the small ghellO drawings of lib GedO so moving. and the implications of unwilling isolation so painfUl (you think., a little, ofGiacommelli) in the life·size sculptural installations of ErntbetSchaar. Both these women artists, now dead, will be seen in retrospective exhibitions (Schaar at Third Eye, GedO at the Compass Gallery) which. to judge by the photographic evideoce, may well be among the highlights of the season. On the same evidence we can expect a great deal orwit and satire and a kind of surreal, incisive elegance; in drawings like Andras B6r6cz' three card players, impingingon the eye like a sharp sound in silence; in the eye-dattling linear dellterity of llinos Szirtes' Russian Fighttrs: in the voluptuous, undulating forms of lIona KeseriJ's reliefs and paintings; in the tree.spiralling, sky.searching sculptures of Gtz.a Samu; and in the excitingly shattered imagery and sheer theatricality orEI Kazovnkij's highly coloured installations. Performance art in Hungary is not, as it is here. a thing apart. Painters

and KUlptoB 001 only move freely between lbe permanent and the ephemeral mcansof c:a:prcs.sion; tbey also like to co-operate with one anomer in mu!ti·mcdia performance, like the one in whtdJ B6r6cz aDd Reveu plan 10 invoh'e local Glasaow artislS 11 Third Eye Sludio 11lcatre.

True, Aberdeen had already achieved European recognilion with their SUCCCS5 in the Cup- Winners' Cup in 198J, beating Bafem Munich on the waytOlhe final in Gotllenburg with Real Madrid. In general, howevet, the auitudeof mOSt British broadcasters and joumalistsseemed to be Ihal bete was a good 'undetdog' story with somequ"inl NOI1hem touches thrown in ('Provost Jumps for Joy' ,etc.), and thete wu little sign Ihat "nyane thought it might happen again.

REVIEWS ." CIl.netT James Kelman (Polygon, £9.95). The Bookc:r Priu: presentation dinner is an occasion for sill)' speeches. None was sillier than Richard Cobb's last year. Rc:flctting upon thc:enormilyof the:

judges' task he: said, 'There: is even a novel wrinen enlirely in what appears to be Glaswegian. Lackinga dictionary I soon gave: up!' No names, no pack drill. but nonh or Hadrian's Wall we knew that he: was rderring loJamc:s Kc:lman's The: Bus Conducfor Hines. Now Kc:lman

has published a second novel, A Chancer. which, like lHnts. is more: concerned with form and style: than plOI, and is wTiuen io- nOI what appears 10 be but most definitely isechIGlaswc:gian. Tammas is the: chancer in question. Nearing twenty he is a Ionc:rand a compulsive gamblcr. He: bets variously and whenever heean

afford the Slake:. When he'li broke he takes tohis bed,tosleepor read an unspecified book. or raids the meter. He is allergic towork. Hili life centres on thedrab Simpson's Bar, with itscoterie of dout drinkers, home with his sister

and brother,in·law, Shawfteld dog track, belling shops and snooker halls. When the bellingshopsclose, he frequents easinos, <K:C8liionally he has a day at the races. At Ayr he meets Vi, asingle parent livingin a single,end. with whom he has a spasmodic affair. He is laconic and inarticulate, a Oint Eastwood rather Ihan an Oscar Wilde among convel'$8tiOl'\3.lists. Most of his sentences fade into three dots, .. and his favourite word is 'fuck' which he employs ceaselessly and adapts with invention. Forthree hundred pages we tail him through a dreich Glasgow winter, always hoping that when he backsa winner he will pockettbe proceeds and quit wben he'son top. or course he never does-Ihis is real life not fiction - and when we leave him he ishitchingout ofGllugowonalorry London·bound. Few writers could pull offsuch a non-event but Kelman does, though there are moments when the book seems to be going round in circles. Remarkably, forone who has wrillen$O liule (apart from the novels he has a collection of short stories, NOI NOI Whilelhe Giroand UQIf To/u which he shares with

Alasdair Gray and Agnes Owens), his work is immediately recognisable, his ironic dippc:d.-style as pllent as Hemingways'. Nothing is explained or embroidered, nothing, not even book titles or television programmes. is allowed to interfere with Tammas' miserable routine. His isajoyless, ordinary life, of the type rarely described between hard coven. Perhaps that is what kept me turning the pages forit affords a glimpse of a nether world which most ofKelman' readen would never wish to experience. Here a populatjon of human flotsam and jetsam eke their way via dowts and pinl5towards the next pro. It is a foreign counu)' on our doorstep and one which Kelman knows intimately. The language is peculiar but faintly reminiscenl and is no barrier to understanding. Familiarity with the rules ofchemi" de fer or even dominoes is desirable but not essential. In such milieu Tammas is a polyg.lot. Elsewhere he isat sea, an outsider and ultimately a loser. This is obvioWllong before the end of A CJulIlcer and although compression might have made it a tighter, more artful book, it acquires power as ifby prolonging the agony. (Alan Taylor).

• TItt Third Ut, "Grang, Coplland Alice Walker (The Women's Prell, O.9S). 'Shil! Nobody's aspowerful as we make lhemout to be. We got our own $Ouls, don't weT The power of lhe $Oul, its grace and patience, is the theme ofAlice Walker's first novel, now finally available in the UK. As in her Pulitter Prize winner The Colour PU'P1e (soon to be a Spielberg film),Alic:c Walker involves the reader in a story of black spiritual strength. Like an utended Blues 5Ong, The Third Uleol GrangeCo~Umdsingsofwomen

who lose their men to poverty, racism and misplaced pride, yet have the love to understand and forgive all weaknesses. The: IllStingimpression is that the men are the real victims, forced to live in the mll5CUline society of the American South but denied the basic dignities which promote emotjonal growth. Grange and his $On Brownfield deslroy their own happiness, learn the emptiness of hatred and brutalise their women in the pursuit of manliness. BU( as Grange recognises near theend of his life' ... where was the man in me that let me sneak off. never telling her nothingabour where I was going, never rellingher I forgave her, never telling her how wrong I was myself? W.lkerealls her writings 'womanist', a term which conveys a concern for both sexes undc:ra common oppression. In this novel the re.der experiences pity and interest for all the characters, although there can be nodoubtthat the women are the prime sufferers with rhegrearest ability toc:ope. The: beauty of this kind of feminist liter.ture is that nothing is liimplified by side taking; good versus evil, fem.le venus male. The: complexity of feeling is what stops the reader asking why a woman stays with a

, man who gives ber nothing but big bellies and bruiliCS. Mem stays with Brownfield because she loves him and believes that ifshe treats him like I man he'll become one. She's wrong, ofcourse, and Brownfield later admits, 'Her weakness was forgiveness, a stupid beliefthat kindness can convert the enemy!' The: honor and despair of Alice Walker's fiction is relentleu but done without exaggeration to make a point. The nanltive unfolds with a speed which doesn't stop until the final word. The Third UftolGrQIIge Copdandis a novel for anyone who wants an unsentimental view of the Black experience in America and a clue towhere human dignity is found. (Tami Cushing.Allan).
