Editorial Reviews
Review
"Remarkable... Lanark is a work of loving and vivid imagination, yielding copious riches." Times Literary Supplement " 'It was time Scotland produced a shattering work of fiction in the modern idiom. This is it." Anthony Burgess "I was absolutely knocked out by Lanark. I think it's the best in Scottish literature in the twentieth century" Iain Banks"
Product Description
"Lanark", a modern vision of hell, is set in the disintegrating cities of Unthank and Glasgow, and tells the interwoven stories of Lanark and Duncan Thaw. A work of extraordinary imagination and wide range, its playful narrative techniques convey a profound message, both personal and political, about humankind's inability to love, and yet our compulsion to go on trying. Widely recognised as a modern classic, Alasdair Gray's magnum opus was first published in 1981 and immediately established him as one of Britain's leading writers. Comparisons have been made to Dante, Blake, Joyce, Orwell, Kafka, Huxley and Lewis Carroll. This new edition should cement his reputation as one of our greatest living writers.
