Alasdair Gray

    28 décembre 1934 – 29 décembre 2019

    Un écrivain écossais dont les œuvres constituent un mélange captivant de réalisme, de fantaisie et de science-fiction. Son approche innovante de l'écriture, souvent enrichie par ses propres illustrations et sa typographie unique, positionne ses créations comme des jalons de la littérature postmoderne. Comparé à des géants littéraires tels que Kafka et Borges, ses romans et nouvelles explorent des thèmes profonds et ont inspiré une génération d'auteurs écossais ultérieurs. L'œuvre de Gray témoigne de son esprit visionnaire et de sa perspective unique sur le monde.

      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.
