Raves for Gray's leather-and-bondage Bildungsroman,
This review is from: Something Leather (Hardcover)
It bewilders me that such a fine piece of work should drop out of print so quickly, while so much that's mediocre or worse gains a wide audience and many reprints. This comic and satirical novel is written in a neo-picaresque chain-of-stories form, and is a fine companion to Gray's prizewinning _Poor_Things_. Gray himself credits the inimitable Kathy Acker for the inspiration to write it. You'll never look at a woman in leather in the same way again. The nominal epilogue--really an essential part of the structure--may be the funniest part.

Alasdair Gray is an interesting an unique voice... This is a fun little book, but best to find one with his illustrations. He is at his best when he uses his art and words together. Try to find one of the British editions.
