Alasdair Gray - Lanark: A Life in 4 Books
One of the most important Scottish books of the 20th century, Lanark has sent shockwaves through literary scene since its publication in 1981. With its innovative play between realism and fantasy, this novel has huge political and social ramifications, but it is, at the same time, a deeply personal and cathartic, artistic exercise by one of Scotland’s most creative minds.
