Outside the Scottish Poetry Library, 2001 Order a print or digital copy by contacting Gordon Wright I have grown up. My maps are out of date. The land lies over me now. Lanark Lanark is one of the great novels of our time, a surreal mural of unsettling images and ideas vigorously coloured with anarchic humour, an epic fable that subverts submission to hypocritical social codes. On its publication in 1981, Scottish literature discovered a wider sense of the possible. Like all of Alasdair Gray's work, Lanark is conceived out of a vision of creative, egalitarian self-regeneration for Scotland. Alasdair Gray was born and brought up in Glasgow, where he still lives. His experiences there, as an art teacher, muralist and theatrical scene painter, provided material for the autobiographical elements in his novels. He designs his own books, from their bold dustjackets to their decorative covers, to their illustration and typography. Among his jests with publishing conventions is a spoof erratum slip 'inserted by mistake' in Unlikely Stories Mostly Poor Things (1992) won the Whitbread Book of the Year Award. Alasdair Gray worked for ten years on

Edinburgh Book Festival 11th - 27th August Book Festival Reports Alasdair Gray in conversation Alasdair Gray is a shy almost apologetic speaker. "I never wanted to write a major work" he says without any false modesty. Yet that is what his debut novel Lanark undoubtedly is. A masterpiece 25 years in the writing, it does for Glasgow what Joyce did for Dublin, and Gray's writing is more accessible. Since Lanark came out in 1981, he has been prolific: 14 books have followed, 7 of which are novels. He is considered a father figure to modern Scottish literature, and has just accepted a post as Professor of Creative Writing at Glasgow University. Now in his late 60s with a beard and wiry grey hair, he looks quite the part. I recommend hearing him speak to anyone who has the chance. He is self-depreciating and playfully humorous, yet never flippant. His voice jumps erratically and even squeaks when he is particularly excited - prompting him to stop and put on a deep sonorous voice for a sentence or so. He talks in tangents, mainly political. Gray is a socialist - "not so much old labour as ancient labour" - and a supporter of Scottish independence. He is proudly Scottish, but not blindly or chauvinistically so. Intelligent and generous, he comes across as a model of what a man should be.

An Epistolary Interview, Mostly with Alasdair Gray By Mark Axelrod MARK AXELROD: You are most widely known for the richly imaginative and what Robert Crawford called "labyrinthine" novel Lanark: A Life in Four Books , a novel that is as stunning in its narrative as it is bizarre in character and setting. For those who have read the book but were a wee bit confused by the setting in book 3, was it meant to be an apocalyptic vision of Glasgow or of a general gloomy setting? ALASDAIR GRAY: I meant to write an exciting story about the world I was in, of which Glasgow was the biggest and nearest part. The gloomy and apocalyptic elements came easily to me because when four years old, I had sat with my mother and father and heard Neville Chamberlain, the prime minister, announce that Britain was at war with Germany. From then on, for five years, street lighting was not used in Britain and when the siren was heard we all stopped what we did and went to air-raid shelters, sometimes getting up in the middle of the night to do it, sometimes stopping our lessons in the classroom. I enjoyed the excitement. Then one day we went to schoolmy sister and I, with our motherand buses came to the school and took us out to bits of Scotland I would otherwise not have known. We were evacuated , first to a farm in Perthshire, then to a flat above a tailor's shop in a small mining town. Then my father (who had been a private, then a quartermaster sergeant in the 1914-1918 war and had worked a box-making machine in a factory between the wars) got work as a manager of a hostel for munitions workers created by the government in the Yorkshire market town of Weatherby. In the course of these flittings I sometimes had nightmares and bad asthma attacks, though my mother ensured I was safe, and the British government, by introducing strict food rationing, ensured that the generation of working-class children who grew up during the war were healthier than those of any preceding generation. As Kurt Vonnegut puts itImagine that! So my tendency to think the world catastrophic or apocalyptic came from the experience of it. But I did not think it a hopeless place, and the world of

Why did the oracle not make clear which of these happened?" Rima said, "What are you talking about?" "The oracle's account of my life before Unthank. He's just finished it." Rima said firmly, "In the first place that oracle was a woman, not a man. In the second place her story was about me. You were so bored you fell asleep and obviously dreamed something else." Lanark I first encountered Alasdair Gray's work at a friend's house. It was the middle of a not-good time for me. Suffering from a tenacious depression that made most attempts at talking, getting out of bed, everything really, seem nothing more than variations on a theme of wasting time, I nonetheless persisted with reading because (1) it reminded me there had been things I enjoyed previously and (2) I hoped reading might, sooner or later, turn up something that might help. I wasn't sure how it was going to do this exactly but the hope lingered nonetheless. Off and on, without enthusiasm, I visited people. On one such visit, I fell over Lanark.

postcards classified ads pinboard flathunting ... e-shop Glasgow: Pat's Guide to the West End: Alasdair Gray, Writer and Artist Good to see Alasdair's talent being utilised at Oranmor - due to open June, 2004. (17th April, 2004). Alasdair Gray has an impressive record or achievement in the world of literature. Since the arrival of his first novel 'Lanark' in 1981 he has been recognised as an important and accomplished writer by the literary world and has continued to produce highly acclaimed works. In 1992 'Poor Things' received both the Guardian Fiction Prize and the Whitbread Prize and, the long awaited, 'The Book of Prefaces' looks set to be a classic. 'it is a book that should be on the shelf of anyone interested in English literature, language and history'. (The Complete Review) Personally, I am particularly impressed by the fact that the erudite Philip Hobsbaum, the English lecturer, who struck awe into me as a first year student at Glasgow University, is a big fan of Gray and very appreciative of his talents. Paul Currie, John Smith's Bookshops, whom I mention often on the Web site, is Alasdair's walking buddy and he suggested Alasdair as a prime candidate for inclusion in our West End Characters Section. (Paul's face can be seen in the book 'Poor Things' - he was Alasdair's model for McCandless). Before meeting Alasdair formally to talk about creating this page I had often seen out and about in the West End accompanied by his partner Morag McAlpine. I'd spotted him often in the Chip - infamous haunt of Glasgow writers, actors, university lecturers and the like. More often than not he was besplattered in paint and looking very much like your archetypal absent minded professor - though maybe more artist than academic.

Lanark: A Life In Four Books John Crowley, The New York Times, May 5 1985 ...It is probably safe to say that ''Lanark'' is not very much like any other Scottish novel, but it does have antecedents in literature - in Bunyan, in Blake, in Dante. ''Lanark'' received little attention in America... Now his first novel reappears in a full-dress hard-cover treatment with illustrations by the author. His drawings are... remarkably similar in their effect to his prose. ''Lanark,'' subtitled ''A Life in 4 Books,'' begins with Book Three... In a rainy, gray, depopulated city called Unthank, something has gone wrong with the sun; it comes up, but never very far... An amnesiac young man... has chosen the name Lanark - which he saw printed under a photograph of a landscape - because he does not remember his own. He spends time in a cinema cafe among aimless young people without jobs or families. Around him, people disappear, sucked into the sky or the ground without warning. Others suffer from strange diseases... Lanark has contracted dragonhide - a patch of hard, insensate skin on his arm is spreading. A woman he meets has a worse problem: she opens her palm and shows him the speaking mouth that has appeared there... At length, Lanark too disappears from Unthank, climbing into an enormous summoning mouth that appears before him, and the story takes the first of several very sharp turns. Lanark awakens in [an] ''institute''... that seems to exist outside time and space. His dragonhide is cured... he is expected to join [the] doctors and cure others... The various diseases of Unthank are equivalents of psychic and moral ailments - dragonhide is an inability to love - and the reader also apprehends, with something of a sinking heart, that he himself has arrived in what is almost certainly an allegory.
