The novelist Alistair MacLean was born on April 21st, 1922, in Glasgow.

MacLean was originally named Alasdair MacGill-Eain in Scottish Gaelic. He was the son of a Scottish minister and a singer. His mother tongue was Scottish Gaelic, so he learned English as a second language, and was brought up in Daviot near Inverness.

In 1941, at the age of eighteen, he joined the Royal Navy; two and a half years spent aboard a cruiser were to give him the background for HMS Ulysses, his first novel, the outstanding documentary novel on the war at sea. After the war he gained an English Honours degree at Glasgow University, and became a schoolmaster, in 1983 the University honoured him with a D.Litt (Doctor of Letters).

Maclean is the author of twenty-nine world bestsellers and recognised as an outstanding writer in his own genre. He died at the age of 64 in Munich, Germany and is buried in Vieux Cemetery in Céligny, Switzerland. His grave is a few paces away from Richard Burton’s grave who starred in the film adaptation of his novel, Where Eagles Dare.

Richard Misrach, one of the “Effigy” images from Border Cantos, his collaboration with performing artist Guillermo Galindo, exploring the varied sections of the wall the US has built along its border with Mexico.

“In 2009 I found a number of these effigies in the California desert. A local resident dressed agave stalks in discarded migrant clothing and stationed them in arroyos and canyons along the border. I don't know if they were made as "art", or as warnings for migrants or protests against the border patrol....but they haunted me," Misrach said.
