In Nobody's Empire, Stuart Murdoch blends his experiences with illness and music into an autofiction narrative, unveiling the beauty in life's marginal existence.
Murdoch's songs have always been populated by athletes and shut-ins; he experienced being first one then the other, showcasing the duality of existence.
The novel captures the essence of Belle and Sebastian's charm through its portrayal of characters navigating life’s complexities under the shadow of chronic fatigue.
With beautifully offhand accuracy, he describes his territory as the cosy dusk and spotting rain-kissed marginals, reflecting his deeply personal connection to place.
