Product Description

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

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 First class 30 Oct 2009
By Baby Blue
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.
