Lanark: A Life in Four Books (Canongate Classics)

Product Information

Kitabın, linear bir anlatım sunmaması ve bazı okurlarca alışık olduğumuz fantazi ve bilimkurgu edebiyatında yer alacak öğeleri ve konu örtüsünü tam olarak barındırmamasından dolayı kitabın beğenilmemesine ve belki de aşırı derecede uzatılmış olabileceği gerçeğini göz ardı etmiyor. But before doing so, he is told the story of his former life as one Duncan Thaw by a portable oracle. I'm sure there are people out there that can chant philosophy or some such from reading this book but not me.

Benim açımdan ise, Lanark'ı fikir olarak ve Gray'in selam çaktığı birçok yazar ve eser doğrultusunda değerlendirdiğimde elimden bırakmak istemediğim bir kitap oldu. And his constant frustration that women he directed his affection toward didn’t supply it as he desired.

One of my most prized possessions is a beautiful collector's edition of this book I received as a gift.

This work, originally published in 1981, has been hailed as the most influential Scottish novel of the second half of the 20th century. But now the fantasies were imbecile frivolity, and poetry was whistling in the dark, and novels showed life fighting its own agony, and biographies were accounts of struggles toward violent or senile ends, and history was an infinitely diseased worm without head or tail, beginning or end. There were big chunks of Thaw's narrative that I found very entertaining, such as his schooling and his time at the Glasgow School of Art.

The presence of that great revolutionary hero, Chairman Fu of the People’s Republic of Xanadu, shows that revolutions are perfectly able to create strong governments.Hotjar sets this cookie to know whether a user is included in the data sampling defined by the site's pageview limit.

He built an impressive trove of literary treasures (novels, plays, essays, short stories), engaged in martial arts to keep himself fit. Tonight I went to the library to see some local new author guy talk about his book which is completely irrelevant to this review.

Alasdair Gray'in 20 yıllık çalışması olan Lanark 4-5 farklı yazımsal türü içinde bulunduran okuduğum en zekice kitaplardan biriydi. But a key to both might be found in what I think is its philosophical, and therefore essentially literary, context.

It is certainly brilliant and endlessly creative, astonishing in its originality, even as it steals most of the world’s literary devices and documents each theft as it’s occurring.
