Notes

A copy of a signed, limited set of Gray's first novel, winner of the Saltire Society book of the year prize in 1982 and a landmark of contemporary Scottish fiction. 'In Scottish literary circles it has become a cliché to refer to the publication of Gray's Lanark in 1981 as having a transformative effect on generations of Scottish creatives, but it is hard to overestimate its impact' (ODNB).
