“…the novel’s fizzing exuberance derives from the fun of watching Gray’s keen authorial intelligence finding layer upon layer of unexpected possibility in his one ingenious narrative conceit.”
—Jonathan Coe reviews Alasdair Gray’s POOR THINGS in the London Review of Books, 8 October 1992

Yorgos Lanthimos’s adaptation of Alasdair Gray’s novel POOR THINGS (1992) has won the Golden Lion at the 2023 La Biennale di Venezia. In a series of recordings made in the last year of his life, Gray talks about the novel & reads extracts – & discusses works which influenced him, from Thomas Love Peacock’s NIGHTMARE ABBEY (1818) to Mel Brooks’ YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974)

The Little White Rose
(To John Gawsworth)
The rose of all the world is not for me.
I want for my part
Only the little white rose of Scotland
That smells sharp and sweet—and breaks the heart.

Author Liam McIlvanney explores why #Scottish #CrimeFiction is thriving
“I think the fact that Scotland has such a rich tradition of dark, macabre storytelling – back to the Gothic fiction of James Hogg and Robert Louis Stevenson and even further back to the ballads – gives crime writers a deep well of inspiration to draw on […] that Calvinist preoccupation with good and evil, with the cloven hoof beneath the spotless robe, has to be a significant factor.”
