Such sad news. Alasdair Gray was one of Scotland’s literary giants, and a decent, principled human being. He’ll be remembered best for the masterpiece that is Lanark, but everything he wrote reflected his brilliance. Today, we mourn the loss of a genius, and think of his family.
Lanark will always be the book that first comes to mind when we think of Alasdair Gray - and it is without doubt a modern classic. However, I think my personal favourite from his incredible body of work is this one 
While many of us will think of Alasdair Gray first and foremost as a brilliant and innovative writer, he was also a hugely talented artist. A true polymath, he was one of the brightest intellectual and creative lights Scotland has known in modern times. RIP
