Product Description

Review

`Glass is Gray's perfect biographer ... the book is inevitably, and not at all unpleasantly, suffused with a general tone of slight pleasantness' --Guardian


Review

`His good-natured biography adopts and adapts the Boswellian template to suit himself and his kenspeckle subject: the business of biography is as much the theme as Gray himself'

5.0 out of 5 stars Mr Boswell, I presume?, 21 Sep 2008
By Warren Zevon RIP (Roxburghshire) - See all my reviews
Superb warts'n'all biography of Scotland's greatest living writer. All the detail you need to make you want to re-read the entire Gray oeuvre.

5.0 out of 5 stars First class, 30 Oct 2009
By Baby Blue (Glasgow, UK) - See all my reviews
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.
