Lanark: A Life in Four Books
by Alasdair Gray
Farewell, Lanark.
I loved it. Nobody I know has heard of it. I preferred books one and two, but the sheer ambition and uniqueness of the others really shine. I’ve never seen such a conscious awareness and cataloguing of influences (“plagiarism”). The order of the books. The Vonnegutisms. The artwork which suggested a much more Conanesque fantasy. The bleak prescience. The way with words.
