About this Item
pp 150 A biography of Scottish dramatist James Bridie, pen name of Dr Osborne Mavor, by his son Ronald Mavor who "explores his father's transition from doctor to playwright with sensitivity, charting and analysing the sometimes uneasy co-existence of Dr Mavor and Mr Bridie". Very good paperback edition, inscribed for Alasdair Gray by the author using his nickname Bingo. Provenance: from the recent Glasgow dispersal sale of Alasdair Gray's library. Gray (1934-2019) is acknowledged as one of the most innovative figures in Scottish literature and culture. Painter, novelist, playwright, poet and editor, Gray frequently combined his diverse artistic talents within single works to challenge existing forms. He has been described as 'Blending satire and tragedy, realism and fantasy, his work has been credited with spurring a renaissance in Scottish literature.'
