1982, Janine

Name: 1982, Janine
Author: Alasdair Gray

by Alasdair Gray

Lanark is widely and justifiably regarded as Gray’s masterpiece. But I love this novel and its protagonist; masturbating, alcoholic, conservative Jock. It shows the dismal outcome of a life that succumbs to fear, but is still somehow an uplifting book.
