"Cameron's poetic credo carries over into his fiction, except in one crucial regard. His short stories are almost entirely parables about outsiders, and if Scottish literature has a true outsider, it is not Irvine Welch: it's Allan Cameron."

".. there is indeed, to add to the other items on the list of unfashionable elements present in Cameron's work, a lintering spirituality, a faith that the somthing soulful and significant is present in the veryday, in the ordinary 'heroism of mortals' he writes of."
