Alasdair Gray. (1982). Lanark; A life in 4 books. London, Panther Granada Publishing Ltd.
‘An Ambitious and marvellously inventive novel’ Malcolm Bradbury
‘I found pelling, a game of hide and seek where one never knows what will happen next. The narrative is direct and stylish, the description crisp… deeply moving and evocative… a great adventure’ Naomi Mitchison, Spectator
Lanark is one of the most extraordinary literary debuts of recent years. This modern vision of hell tells the interwoven tales of Lanark and Duncan Thaw in the disintegrating cities of Unthank and Glasgow. An imaginative work of astounding range, it heralded the arrival of a major new voice in Scottish – and English – literature. LANARK, greatly admired by the paring the author to, among others, Dante, John Bunyan, William Blake, Lewis Carroll, James Joyce, Arnold Bennett, George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and the painters Stanley Spencer and Hieronymous Bosch.
‘A big and original novel has at e out of Scotland… it was time Scotland produced a shattering work of fiction in the modern idiom. That’s it’ Anthony Burgess, Ninety-Nine Novels
‘When es up and then retires in dismay, we find ourselves in the presence of an overpowering surreal imagination. A saga of a city where reality is about as reliable as a Salvador Dali watch’ Brian Aldiss
