Book description
Sixty-four short tales from Gray's earlier books are here joined with
ten new stories, with illustrations and information to amuse curious
readers. A great writer, perhaps the greatest writer living in Britain
today. Since 1981, when Alasdair Gray's first novel (Lanark: A Life in
Four Books) was published by Canongate, he has published twenty 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.'
