Morvern Callar is a 1995 experimental novel by Scottish author Alan Warner.

Published as his first novel, its first-person narrative—mainly written in Scots—explores the social life and cultural interests of the titular character following the sudden death of her boyfriend.

The novel was a winner of the Somerset Maugham Award in 1996,[1] and a critically acclaimed adaptation directed by Scottish film director Lynne Ramsay was released in 2002.

Warner initially developed the narrative of Morvern Callar from the perspective of the titular character's boyfriend.

"[2] Morvern Callar has been analyzed as dealing with "the neoliberalization of working conditions from within" in the British Isles, using a polyphonic style of narrative depicting the overlapping yet abruptly changing lives of its characters to convey precarity; hence, "the absence of any collective organization in the novel further emphasizes the divisions that precarity creates".
