Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 March 2009
Potential readers should know that large parts of this book consist of extremely nasty and unpleasant pornographic sexual fantasies.

This is a quote from Alisdair Gray, the author. It is part of an interview on his own website. He cannot read his own book.

"When writing the pornographic parts of 1982 Janine I was deliberately shocking myself. Though I think it my best novel, I cannot now reread it - I'm back to being as old fashioned as I was before imagining it."

I read some of the rest of the book which is why it gets two stars instead of one.
