Alasdair Gray

    28 de diciembre de 1934 – 29 de diciembre de 2019

    Un escritor escocés cuyas obras son una cautivadora mezcla de realismo, fantasía y ciencia ficción. Su enfoque innovador de la escritura, a menudo realzado con sus propias ilustraciones y tipografía única, posiciona sus creaciones como hitos de la literatura posmoderna. Comparado con gigantes literarios como Kafka y Borges, sus novelas y cuentos exploran temas profundos y han inspirado a una generación de autores escoceses posteriores. La obra de Gray es un testimonio de su espíritu visionario y su perspectiva única del mundo.

      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.
