Rereadings: Lanark by Alasdair Gray
When it was first published 20 years ago, Alasdair Gray's novel Lanark was hailed as a modern classic. Two decades on, Janice Galloway finds the book as exuberant and seditious as ever
βLANARK, in common with all great books, is still, and always will be, an act of resistance. It is part of the system of whispers and sedition and direct communion, one voice to another, we call literature.β

This is an unsolicited PSA to support and promote your local library. They are such a special public good in more ways than are immediately obvious.
Also a great bonus for researchers: if you can, find a way to partner with library professionals in your research β€οΈ
