INTERVIEWER: When somebody asks you to describe your book LANARK, what do you say to them?
ALASDAIR GRAY: I say it is a Scottish petit bourgeois model of the universe.
INTERVIEWER: Just like that?
ALASDAIR GRAY: Yes, I’ve rehearsed it and honed it down to as few words as possible.

From 25 Feb 2021 – the first ever , marking the fortieth anniversary of the publication of Alasdair Gray’s novel LANARK

deweyritten, to GillianAnderson

Gillian Anderson is a hauntingly good Miss Havisham!!!

@deweyritten Love her. I was also blown away by her role in House of Mirth; sort of a shock, when I'd been used to thinking of her as Scully for so long—but a shock in the best of ways.

@NickEast @reading @bookstodon @kidlit When I come across a great passage, I read it aloud to the little money plant the neighborhood garden center gave me. (And when spring rolls around again, I fully plan on helping my fig tree wake up by reading him some Carl Sandburg. He is a Chicago hardy, after all.)
