With a new introduction by William Boyd
Thirty years in the writing and published in 1981, Lanark: A Life in Four Books was Alasdair Gray's first novel. Since then 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.'
* A quite extraordinary achievement, the most remarkable thing in Scottish fiction for a very long time. It has changed the landscape. -- Allan Massie The Scotsman * Undoubtedly the best work of fiction written by a Scottish author for decades. Time Out * Remarkable... Lanark is a work of loving and vivid imagination, yielding copious riches. -- William Boyd Times Literary Supplement * I was absolutely knocked out by Lanark. I think it's the best in Scottish literature this century. -- Iain Banks
