Alasdair Gray

    28 december 1934 – 29 december 2019

    Een Schotse schrijver wiens werken een boeiende mix van realisme, fantasy en sciencefiction vormen. Zijn innovatieve benadering van schrijven, vaak verrijkt met zijn eigen illustraties en unieke typografie, positioneert zijn creaties als mijlpalen van de postmoderne literatuur. Vergeleken met literaire grootheden als Kafka en Borges, verkennen zijn romans en korte verhalen diepgaande thema's en hebben ze een generatie Schotse auteurs geïnspireerd. Gray's oeuvre getuigt van zijn visionaire geest en unieke kijk op de wereld.

      Set in the disintegrating cities of Unthank and Glasgow, this modern vision of hell tells the interwoven stories of two men: Lanark and Duncan Thaw. As the Life in Four Books unfolds, the strange, buried relationship between Lanark and Thaw slowly starts to emerge. Lanark is a towering work of the imagination and is the culmination of twenty-five years of work by Gray, who also illustrated and designed the novel. On its first publication it was immediately recognised as a major work of literature, and drew comparisons with Dante, Black, Joyce, Orwell, Kafka, Huxley and Lewis Carroll. Thirty years on, its power, majesty, anger and relevance has only intensified.
