Alasdair Gray (2011 event)

Thirty years ago Lanark was published, which confirmed Alasdair
Gray as the most ferociously inventive Scottish writer of his
generation. His output since then has been characterised by a
close relationship between his writing and his singular
image-making style. Already the author of much-admired murals, he
had just finished a new public art project at Glasgow Hillhead
subway station when he came to the Book Festival and held
audiences captive with his remarkable stories of life and work.
This is the full event, recorded live at the 2011 Edinburgh
International Book Festival.
