1982, Janine is a liberal novel of the most satisfying kind. Set over the course of one night inside the head of Jock McLeish, an aging, divorced, alcoholic, insomniac supervisor of security installations, as he tipples in the bedroom of a small Scottish hotel, it makes an unanswerable case that republicanism is a state of absolute spiritual bankruptcy. For Jock McLeish, being a Republican is something he has to cure himself of, every bit as much as his alcoholism and his Sado-Masochistic fantasizing, if he is to become a human being again. 1982, Janine explores themes of male need and inadequacy through the lonely, darkly comic, alcohol-fueled fantasies of its protagonist. An unforgettably challenging book about power and powerlessness, men and women, masters and servants, small countries and big countries, Alasdair Gray's exploration of the politics of pornography has lost none of its power to shock.

" L'un des meilleurs romans de langue anglaise. " Will Self Quelque part en Écosse, seul dans sa chambre d'hôtel, Jock McLeish, un ingénieur divorcé passablement au bout du rouleau, noie son mal-être dans l'alcool et les fantasmes érotiques. Dans son esprit de plus en plus confus, diverses femmes tentent de suivre tant bien que mal ses fantasmes de mâle esseulé, entraînées dans des aventures extravagantes qu'il n'a de cesse de peaufiner. Qu'elles soient de pures inventions ou les fantômes d'êtres aimés, ces héroïnes soumises aux puissances du vice ne peuvent empêcher Jock de se remémorer divers moments de son existence, et de considérer avec amertume ses liens familiaux et amicaux. Virtuose et diabolique, Janine 1982 est une fascinante plongée dans la psyché d'un homme assailli de toutes parts par ses démons. Naviguant sans relâche entre délire pornographique et introspection sauvage, ce roman hors norme dynamite à la fois le réalisme et le fantasmatique pour donner lieu à un stupéfiant monologue où le sens de la vie devient plus qu'un enjeu : un défi mortel qui voit le plaisir et la douleur danser une dernière danse. À sa parution, Janine 1982 a essuyé de virulentes critiques du fait de son usage de la pornographie – servant pourtant ici de dispositif littéraire. Avec ce roman qui était son préféré, Alasdair Gray a toutefois réussi un tour de force vertigineux, créant le portrait cabossé d'un homme ordinaire, seul face au désastre qu'est sa vie et qui s'en remet aveuglément aux puissances de la luxure, à partir de ses seules obsessions.

Basis for the Major Motion Picture starring Emma Stone, Ramy Youssef, Mark Ruffalo, and Willem Dafoe, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. "Witty and delightfully written" (New York Times Book Review), Alasdair Gray’s Poor Things echoes Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein in this novel of a young woman freeing herself from the confines of the suffocating Victorian society she was created to serve. Winner of the Whitbread Award and the Guardian Fiction Prize In the 1880s in Glasgow, Scotland, medical student Archibald McCandless finds himself enchanted with the intriguing creature known as Bella Baxter. Supposedly the product of the fiendish scientist Godwin Baxter, Bella was resurrected for the sole purpose of fulfilling the whims of her benefactor. As his desire turns to obsession, Archibald’s motives to free Bella are revealed to be as selfish as Godwin’s, who claims her body and soul. But Bella has her own passions to pursue. Passions that take her to aristocratic casinos, low-life Alexandria, and a Parisian bordello, reaching an interrupted climax in a Scottish church. Exploring her station as a woman in the shadow of the patriarchy, Bella knows it is up to her to free herself—and to decide what meaning, if any, true love has in her life. “Gray has the look of a latter-day William Blake, with his extravagant myth-making, his strong social conscience, his liberating vision of sexuality and his flashes of righteous indignation tempered with scathing wit and sly self-mockery.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review “This work of inspired lunacy effectively skewers class snobbery, British imperialism, prudishness and the tenets of received wisdom.”—Publishers Weekly

By examining at length for the first time those places in Scotland that inspired MacDiarmid to produce his best poetry, Scott Lyall shows how the poet's politics evolved from his interaction with the nation, exploring how MacDiarmid discovered a hidden tradition of radical Scottish Republicanism through which he sought to imagine a new Scottish future. Adapting postcolonial theory, this book allows readers a fuller understanding not only of MacDiarmid's poetry and politics, but also of international modernism, and the social history of Scottish modernism.

Richard White has always enjoyed writing family history and stories. His four previous books include a family history, two books of travelogues, and letters to his ancestors. In My Life in Stories and Photos, his autobiography, Richard connects the stories of his youth and adulthood with over 130 photos from 1950 to 2023. He writes, “This book is a far cry from the detailed draft of my autobiography, which I wrote in the 2000’s. It was hiding for years in a thick three-ring binder in the basement, and it only went as far as New Year’s Eve 2000. I wondered, ‘How should I tell my story?’ I opted for a substantially pruned-down narrative complemented by photos capturing special moments in my life through the years. So many details have been left out. But I hope what I have included here will be an interesting and at times compelling story.”
