Omschrijving
The essential essay collection from one of Britain's most fascinating and acclaimed writers and artists, Alasdair Gray
Unbelievably inventive
Gray is a true original, a twentieth-century William Blake
One of the most gifted writers to have put pen to paper in the English language
An essential portrait of an artist emerging in the second half of the 20th century . . . Gray is an exceptionally generous writer
A great writer, perhaps the greatest living in Britain today
Alasdair Gray is that rather rare bird among contemporary British writers - a genuine experimentalist
Disarmingly personal . . . Like Gray himself, the book is by turns ebullient, eccentric, generous and shy
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 . . . A thrilling and powerful statement about the value of Scottish art
Gray may be regarded as the doyen of Scottish letters, and this publication is a fitting acknowledgement of his status
Born in 1934, Alasdair Gray graduated in design and mural painting from the Glasgow School of Art. Since 1981, when Lanark was published by Canongate, he authored, designed and illustrated seven novels, several books of short stories, a collection of his stage, radio and TV plays and a book of his visual art, A Life in Pictures. In November 2019, he received a Lifetime Achievement award by the Saltire Society. He died in December 2019, aged eighty-five.
