Alasdair Gray: A Secretary's Biography

Autor Rodge Glass
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 sep 2009
Alasdair Gray, author of the modern classics Lanark, Poor Things and 1982, Janine, is without doubt Scotland's greatest living novelist. Since trying (unsuccessfully) to buy him a drink in 1998, Rodge Glass, first tutee and then secretary to the author, takes on the role of biographer, charting Gray's life from unpublished and unrecognised son of a box-maker to septuagenarian "little grey deity" (as Will Self has called him). A Jewish Mancunian Boswell to Gray's Johnson, Glass seamlessly weaves a chronological narrative of his subject's life into his own diary of meeting, getting to know and working with the artist, writer and campaigner, to create a vibrant and wonderfully textured portrait of a literary great.

Recenzii

'A story finely told ... Glass has produced a portrait that is critically intimate to the point of being genuinely, unashamedly loving'
'Alasdair Gray is spectacularly eccentric ... [This book] will ... delight the many devotees of the Gray cult'
'A strange and nourishing stew'
'Honest and revealing, tender and, very unacademically, moving'
