Editing Morvern Callar (section)

==Development==
Warner initially developed the narrative of ''Morvern Callar'' from the perspective of the titular character's boyfriend. He became frustrated with the rigidity of the perspective and reworked the novel to be from Callar's perspective, and to begin with her boyfriend's suicide; he commented that "I was very, very uncomfortable and nervous about it – I didn't think it was convincing. I thought the rhythm was very strange. I didn't think it was any good. And I didn't show it to anyone."<ref name="Barton 2014">{{cite web | last=Barton | first=Laura | title=Alan Warner: booze, books and why he's backing Scottish independence | website=[[The Guardian]] | date=August 19, 2014 | url=http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/aug/19/alan-warner-booze-books-why-voting-scottish-independence | access-date=February 12, 2023}}</ref>
