Review:
**** Gray has a rare ability to convey his thought in writing that is clear, invigorating and, in the very best way, fun. This book is all of those things, and much more besides. Several key themes resonate through these collected works. One is the great feeling of Gray s life and work being embedded in, and a product of, Scotland. His embrace of that Scottishness, and recognition that his own writing could be nothing but Scottish, makes for a thrilling and powerful statement about the value of Scottish art. --The List
Gray is a true original, a twentieth century William Blake. --Observer
A great writer, perhaps the greatest writer living in Britain today --Will Self
About the Author:
Since 1981, when Alasdair Gray's first novel (Lanark: A Life in Four Books) was published by Canongate, he has published twenty-two books, most of them novels and short stories. In his own words, 'Alasdair Gray is a fat, spectacled, balding, increasingly old Glaswegian pedestrian who has mainly lived by writing and designing books, most of them fiction.'
