21. History's Mandate: Alasdair Gray And The Art Of Independence Essay by Willy Maley discussing gray's Why Scots Should Rule Scotland. http://www2.arts.gla.ac.uk/SESLL/STELLA/COMET/glasgrev/issue3/maley.htm

History's Mandate: Alasdair Gray and the Art of Independence Willy Maley In the wake of the General Election of 1992 James Kelman wrote a biting satire on the demand for Scottish constitutional change by parliamentary means. Entitled 'Let The Wind Blow High, Let The Wind Blow Low'. It was published as the endpiece to his collection of essays, Some Recent Attacks Kelman begins by pointing out that 75% of voters 'rejected the Tory national government' (p. 86). He goes on to remind us that 'both in Scotland and throughout the UK as a whole there are many thousands of people who have done their best to reject it for a long number of years. Some have voted and some haven't': State propaganda insists that the reason why at least 40 percent of the voting public don't vote at all is because no feelings one way or the other. They say the same thing in the U.S.A. where some 85 percent of the population are apparently 'apolitical' since they don't bother registering a vote. Rejection of the political system is inadmissible as far as the state is concerned. If you don't vote you're 'neutral', i.e. you don't 'have any politics' (p. 87). According to Kelman: 'A vote for any party or individual is always a vote for the political system ... If there was any possibility that the apparatus could effect a change in the system then they would dismantle it immediately'. (p. 87). In other words, don't vote, you'll only encourage them. If elections promised change they'd be abolished. Familiar stuff. But Kelman extends the argument:

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Alasdair Gray Alasdair Gray was born on 28 December 1934 in Glasgow, and trained as a painter at the Glasgow School Of Art. He worked as an art teacher, muralist and theatrical scene painter (experiences which are reflected in novels such as "Lanark" and "1982, Janine"), and his illustrations for his own books (as well as his bold use of typography) form a crucial part of their unique appeal. In the early seventies, Gray attended an informal writers' group run by Philip Hobsbaum, along with James Kelman Tom Leonard Liz Lochhead Agnes Owens and others. Work would be photocopied and distributed in advance for the group to discuss and criticise. Gray had already been working on "Lanark" since the fifties, and found Kelman's advice particularly helpful. The novel was finished in 1976, but not published until 1981, by Edinburgh-based publisher Canongate. Described by Anthony Burgess (only a wee bit hyperbolically) as the greatest contribution to Scottish literature since Walter Scott , "Lanark: A Life In 4 Books" (1981) is a modern classic, and contains all the elements which make Gray's intricate, eccentric style so memorable. "1982, Janine" (1984), the drunken memories and fantasies of a sad and lonely electrician, is equally compelling, but perhaps Gray's most assured work is the Whitbread Award-winning "Poor Things" (1992), a historical pastiche telling the story of a female Frankenstein's monster in Glasgow, its clever unfolding of found manuscripts and appendices displaying an ingenuity worthy of Nabokov.

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.
