Review

'A story finely told ... Glass has produced a portrait that is critically intimate to the point of being genuinely, unashamedly loving' Prospect 'Alasdair Gray is spectacularly eccentric ... [This book] will ... delight the many devotees of the Gray cult' Financial Times 'A strange and nourishing stew' Time 'Honest and revealing, tender and, very unacademically, moving' The Herald

First class 30 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback
I find it hard to believe any fan of Alisdair Gray would be disappointed with this book. I believe it provides a fascinating insight into the mind and motivation of a career author. One for who writing isn't his main passion. It was written by a friend and employee so it isn't the full horror but there are enough hints to be entertaining ! The co author is of course Gray himself, pushing his post modern 'author in the plot' agenda ever further by giving interviews and bravely agreeing to the project.
