Abstract
|
:
|
"Lanark, a modern vision of hell, is set in the disintegrating cities of Unthank and Glasgow, and tells the interwoven stories of Lanark and Duncan Thaw. A work of extraordinary imagination and wide range, its playful narrative techniques convey a profound message, both personal and political, about humankind's inability to love, and yet our compulsion to go on trying." "This Canongate Classics edition includes an introduction by Janice Galloway as well as the author's T̀ailpiece' (2001), an addendum to the novel."--Jacket.
