About this listen
FOR THE FIRST TIME UNABRIDGED IN AUDIO
READ BY ALAN CUMMING and ANGUS KING
WITH ARCHIVAL RECORDINGS FROM ALASDAIR GRAY HIMSELF
'Probably the greatest novel of the century' Observer
Lanark, a modern vision of hell set in the disintegrating cities of Unthank and Glasgow, tells the interwoven stories of Lanark and Duncan Thaw. A work of extraordinary imagination, its playful narrative conveys a profound message, both personal and political, about humankind's inability to love, and yet our compulsion to go on trying.
First published in 1981, Lanark established Alasdair Gray as one of Britain’s leading writers and kick-started the modern renaissance of Scottish literature.
Critic Reviews
Remarkable . . . Lanark is a work of loving and vivid imagination, yielding copious riches (WILLIAM BOYD)
I was absolutely knocked out by Lanark. I think it's the best in Scottish literature this century (IAIN BANKS)
