A History Maker

Autor Alasdair Gray
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 apr 2005
A tale of border warfare, military and erotic, set in the twenty-third century, where the women rule the kingdom and the men play war games. But Wat, the History Maker himself, does not play entirely by the rules, and when a woman, Delilah Puddock, joins the fray, this 'utopian' history is further enlivened.

A HISTORY MAKER
'Fantasist, realist, parodist, postmodernist . . . Alasdair Gray has become no mean literary history maker himself.' Scotsman
This is the memoir of Wat Dryhope, son of Ettrick Forest's Twenty-third Century Chieftain. History has ended, households are ruled by women, and war is a regulated game only played by men. But Wat the History Make is sick of the old rules and when a woman, Delilah Puddock, interfere, this utopian world is terribly endangered. Th book has been designed and illustrated by the author.
'Very entertaining indeed.' TLS
'I would sit around the campfire and listen to Gray's tales any night.' The Times
'A History Maker is in a field of its own.' GQ
