Alasdair Gray

    28 dicembre 1934 – 29 dicembre 2019

    Uno scrittore scozzese le cui opere sono un'accattivante miscela di realismo, fantasy e fantascienza. Il suo approccio innovativo alla scrittura, spesso arricchito dalle sue illustrazioni e dalla sua tipografia unica, posiziona le sue creazioni come pietre miliari della letteratura postmoderna. Paragonato a giganti letterari come Kafka e Borges, i suoi romanzi e racconti esplorano temi profondi e hanno ispirato una generazione di autori scozzesi successivi. L'opera di Gray è una testimonianza del suo spirito visionario e della sua prospettiva unica sul mondo.

      Set in the disintegrating cities of Unthank and Glasgow, this modern vision of hell tells the interwoven stories of two men: Lanark and Duncan Thaw. As the Life in Four Books unfolds, the strange, buried relationship between Lanark and Thaw slowly starts to emerge. Lanark is a towering work of the imagination and is the culmination of twenty-five years of work by Gray, who also illustrated and designed the novel. On its first publication it was immediately recognised as a major work of literature, and drew comparisons with Dante, Black, Joyce, Orwell, Kafka, Huxley and Lewis Carroll. Thirty years on, its power, majesty, anger and relevance has only intensified.
