Bookshelf Travelling for Insane Times – Alasdair Gray
Posted in Alasdair Gray, Memes, Scottish Fiction, Scottish Literature at 12:00 on 15 November 2020
This week’s books for Judith’s meme now overseen by Katrina are on my shelf of Scottish books.
This illustrates my idiosyncratic filing system. Within an author’s books, first come novels in order of publication,* then collections of short stories,** then anthologies edited (if any: in this case none,) then collaborations, finally non-fiction. But here we have two books of plays – one a verse comedy – before the non-fiction Independence.
Two further books, A Short Survey of Classic Scottish Writing and A Life in Pictures are of odd sizes and housed elsewhere as is the as-yet unread by me Old Negatives 4 verse sequences and The Book of Prefaces.
*See here for my review of Old Men in Love.
**I reviewed one of these here.
