Matthew Fitt

    Matthew Fitt ist ein schottischer Dichter und Romanautor, der sich der Wiederbelebung und Entwicklung der schottischen Sprache durch seine literarischen Werke verschrieben hat. Seine Schriften erforschen oft zeitgenössische Themen in der traditionellen schottischen Sprache und schlagen so eine Brücke zwischen Vergangenheit und Zukunft. Durch seine Arbeit mit dem Verlag Itchy Coo und als Zeitungsautor setzt sich Fitt dafür ein, dass Schottisch eine lebendige und relevante Sprache für neue Generationen bleibt. Sein Stil zeichnet sich durch einen innovativen Sprachansatz und die Fähigkeit aus, den Leser in Welten zu entführen, die sowohl vertraut als auch unerwartet sind.
