home navigation issue 23: March - April 2001 spanish translation author bio BIG POCKETS WITH BUTTONED FLAPS Alasdair Gray A MILD SEPTEMBER morning. A man no longer young strolls thoughtfully on a narrow footpath along a former railway line. Noises tell of a nearby motorway but brambles, elders and hawthorns on each side hide all but the straight empty path ahead until he sees a small clearing on his right. Two girls sit here at the foot of an old telegraph pole. He pauses, gazing up at the top of the pole, examining its cracked grey timber, cross-pieces with insulators like small white jam pots from which dangle broken wires. He has noticed the girls are in their teens, look surly and depressed, wear clumsy thick-soled boots and baggy military trousers from which rise pleasantly slim bodies. One says crossly, 'What are you staring at?' 'At the wires of that sad sad pole!' says the man without lowering his eyes, 'A few years ago they carried messages from this land of ours to a world-wide commercial empire.'

No hace tantos años mantenían en contacto este país nuestro con un imperio comercial de importancia mundial. ¿Que no hace tantos? ¡Hace siglos! replica la chica con desprecio. Mirándola de soslayo, el hombre se da cuenta de que lleva un pendiente en el labio inferior y otro en la aleta de la nariz. ¿Siglos? Sí.

Su compañera sigue sentada en la misma postura en la que la ha encontrado el paseante.

43. CSFG Website - Reviews gray, alasdair Five Letters *Five Letters* is a series of lettersfrom a poet to his parents, who has just become the official http://csfg.cumulo-nimbus.com/rgrayFL.html

Gray, Alasdair - Five Letters *Five Letters* is a series of letters from a poet to his parents, who has just become the official Emperor's poet in the new Imperial Palace of an imaginary nation. *Five Letters* is billed as "Describing etiquette, government, irrigation, education, clogs, kites, rumour, poetry, justice, massage, town-planning, sex and ventriloquism in an obsolete nation." *Five Letters* is in fact a fantasy novella (54 pages, 17,000words approx), in the form of the five letters. Alasdair Gray has written a gothic fantasy and social satire, rather than a sword-and-sorcery fantasy - the same contrast as between Mervyn Peake's *Gormenghast* and Tolkien's *Lord of the Rings*. Gray takes a twist at every cliche representation of fantasy kingdoms, creating an incredibly rich portrait of an empire, its ruthless (and bizarre) emperor and the baroque social structures that support the emperor's power. Gray's attention to minute descriptive detail, and the imaginative energy that has gone into the creation of this imaginary version of feudal China, makes *Five Letters* fascinating reading even if you only want to mine the work for ideas. The work is difficult to describe, and a plot synopsis would make little or no sense, but fortunately published in Penguin 60s which are only about $1 or $2. I have a copy that I'm happy to lend out.

This book was published in 1981 by Cannongate Publishing, having taken almost 30 years to be completed. Alasdair Gray was born in the Riddrie, Glasgow, in 1934. From an early age he showed a flair and interest in both writing and art, at the age of eleven winning a BBC competition and reading some of his verses on Scottish radio children's hour. In 1948, Gray was the editor of the school magazine at Whitehill primary school in Glasgow, to which he also contributed pictures and stories. In 1952 Gray began his degree at Glasgow School of Art, where he was a student until 1957.

Alasdair Gray Kleine Disteln (Aufbau) Gray "Knappe Geschichten", so lautet der lapidare Untertitel von KLEINE DISTELN, das in der Reihe "Text und Portrait" im Aufbau-Verlag erschienen ist. Und es scheint so, als wären seine Geschichten weniger skandalträchtig als es sein Roman "Janine 1982" gewesen war, der wegen der beschriebenen sexuellen Ausschweifungen für Wirbel gesorgt hat. Alasdair Gray geboren 1934 in Glasgow, studierte an der dortigen Kunsthochschule Malerei. Gray lebt und arbeitet als Graphiker, Maler, Verleger und Schriftsteller in seiner Heimatstadt. Zum Schreiben kam er erst, als er bereits über vierzig Jahre alt war. Gray ist bekennender Sozialist und bekanntester Vertreter der Welle neuer schottischer Autoren, die seit einigen Jahren die Aufmerksamkeit auf sich ziehen. Seine Heimatstadt Glasgow bildet die Kulisse für seine ersten beiden Romane "Lanark" und "1982, Janine". Beides sind großangelegte, schelmenhafte Erzählungen, in denen die Kritiker die Weitschweifigkeit eines Lawrence Sterne und den Eklektizismus eines James Joyce sahen. Der Observer sprach "Lanark" alle Inkredenzien eines Kultbuchs zu und die Washington Post gab zu "Zehnmal Lug und Trug" den Tip: "Schnappen sie sich im Buchgeschäft den Stapel diese Buches. Lassen Sie alle in Geschenkpapier einschlagen, bis auf Ihr eigenes Exemplar - und bringen Sie die als Gastgeschenk zu Dinnerparties etc. mit - statt dieser öden Flasche Wein, die ja doch nie getrunken, sondern immer von Dinnerparty zu Dinnerparty herumgereicht wird."

All artwork reproduced here is ©Alasdair Gray **NEW** Click here to see dust jacket for Alasdair Gray: Critical Appreciations and a Bibliography edited by myself and with an introduction by novelist Will Self. The jacket is designed by Alasdair Gray and is, although I say so myself, pretty gorgeous. Alasdair Gray is a writer, painter, poet, playwright, book designer, anthologist, polemicist and all-round good egg. Although he had been writing since his teens (his first story was published when he was 15), Gray spent time teaching, designing play-scenery and painting, it wasn't until 1981 that he shot onto the literary scene, at the age of 45, with the novel Lanark . He had been writing the book, on and off, for about 25 years, but to the English (actually, make that London) literary world it appeared as though he had come from nowhere. Anthony Burgess included it in his list of best novels written in English since 1945 and called Gray the greatest Scottish literary talent since Walter Scott, even daring to make comparisons between Lanark and Joyce's Ulysses . The book paved the way for London to accept the new-wave of Scottish fiction: James Kelman, Irvine Welsh, Iain Banks, Janice Galloway, A.L. Kennedy all owe a debt.

Lanark by Alasdair Gray read by Jessa Crispin The night I began reading Lanark I ran into the living room and declared to Kenan, "This is the best book I have ever read!" He looked unconvinced. "What page are you on?" "Ten." "Ten." "Yes. But I can already tell." He went back to playing SimCity. My instincts were right. Lanark really is one of the best books I have ever read. The book has no introductory section. It just dumps you into this bizarre reality and forces you to keep up. The world is some form of Scotland where the sun just doesn't come out anymore so the citizens have discarded any system of time. Some of the inhabitants have been disappearing. Others come down with strange skin disorders. One such disease is a scaly, black growth that slowly takes over the body. The character Lanark has arrived in this town, Unthank, but has no memory of his life before being on the train on his way here. He is obsessed with searching the sky for the sun. He also has an arm that is covered by the scaly disorder, and the arm seems to be doing things he's not aware of. Lanark's story continues, getting odder and odder until it's taken over by the story of Duncan Thaw, a completely normal boy growing up after World War II in a completely normal version of Scotland. I don't want to reveal any more of the plot because the surprise that comes with every page is a big part of the fun. Everything about this book is a delight. The odd structure, the disturbing illustrations, the completely unexpected twists the book takes. Alasdair Gray manages to hold the whole thing together, never straying too far, never betraying the reader's trust. It's wholly bizarre, but in a joyful kind of way. With each development, I found myself giggling. I shrieked with glee in the epilogue, which finds itself in the middle of book four. The book deals with big, serious issues, yet it never loses its lightness. It's an amazing accomplishment, and I haven't stopped gushing about the book since I read it.
