Ten Tales Tall And True by Alasdair Gray
My rating: 3/5 cats
connor told me i should read something i was sure to enjoy on my birthday, just pure pleasure. i thought that was what i was doing with alasdair gray. and it’s not that i didn’t enjoy it, this is just not my favorite of his books. so this review-space is just to say—go read lanark. (which i haven’t reviewed, but just allow me to say is the best) typically a scottish fabulist, some of these stories were more real (boo) than i expected. the first one, in particular, was like reading an alan sillitoe story (which is good, just wasn’t what i was prepared for as my birthday escapist fiction.) but lanark, o lanark. i know i can’t do it justice until i reread it (i’ve read it twice but many years ago) i would just like a little trust here, after all we have been through together. seriously, lanark.
