Alasdair Gray

Alasdair Gray

Biography

Alasdair Gray was a distinguished Scottish novelist and artist, renowned for his groundbreaking works like Lanark and Poor Things. Initially a muralist and painter, he shifted to writing, crafting novels blending realism, fantasy, and satire that earned Guardian and Whitbread Awards. His legacy peaked with Poor Things, adapted into an Oscar-nominated film by Yorgos Lanthimos, who received Gray’s approval after they met and Gray admired his cinema. Gray’s style fuses historical settings, fantastical narratives, and his own illustrations, often reflecting Scottish identity and socialism. He created iconic Glasgow murals and championed Scottish independence.
