Alasdair Gray

    28. december 1934 – 29. december 2019

    Škótsky autor, ktorého diela sú fascinujúcou zmesou realizmu, fantázie a science fiction. Jeho inovatívny prístup k písaniu, často doplnený o vlastné ilustrácie a jedinečnú typografiu, zaraďuje jeho tvorbu medzi kľúčové diela postmodernistickej literatúry. V porovnaní s velikánmi ako Kafka a Borges, jeho romány a poviedky skúmajú hlboké otázky a ovplyvnili celú generáciu škótskych spisovateľov. Grayova práca je dôkazom jeho vizionárskeho ducha a jedinečného pohľadu na svet.

      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.
