'A stylishness and experimentalism that few novelists these days even dare.-Alan Bissett; 'Mickey takes off to the hills with his faithful -and very engaging - dog, and what we have is a sort of Highland road movie, rich in encounters, some unpleasantly violent, some comic, some touching, a few exhilarating.-Allan Massie, The Scotsman; 'This is a life-affirming book that keeps you reading.-Scottish Book of the Week, The Courier;'A triumphant journey of discovery.-Alex Roddie; 'One of the many joys of "The Making of Mickey Bell" by Kellan MacInnes is that it proves beyond doubt that there is always room for a new way of looking at a well-trodden subject, and that it is possible to produce as a result an outstanding book that is both memorable and unique.-Undiscovered Scotland; 'There is a lust for life, and for writing, which runs through the book, and which keeps you turning the page.

Reseña del editor
It's September 2014 and Mickey Bell has HIV, is on the dole, and survives in the high flats in Drumkirk. When advocacy-worker Carmen filled in Mickey's benefits form she exaggerated his health problems and for the past five years he's been receiving incapacity living allowance for 'help getting around'. Now Mickey's psychotic ex, Tommy, grasses him to the benefit fraud hotline, and Mickey runs away. Accompanied by Tyke, a wee collie dog, and pursued by an investigator from the Department for Social Security, he sets out to climb his last Munro. With the background a celebration of Scotland's landscape, Mickey's personal journey from a life on benefits to a brighter future mirrors Scotland's journey towards independence.
