Alasdair Gray: As Things Happen
Way back at the turn of the 21st century, when I thought I knew a few things about <font> tags and so on, I tried to chase up some business by writing to my favourite living author to ask whether he wanted a website.
Hardly surprisingly, Alasdair Gray didn't reply.
Now, I've just discovered, he has launched a blog, a website, an online print store and book shop.
Here's his reply to a magazine researcher who asked him to describe his favourite view:
From the twelfth floor of Glasgow University Library, or better still from the roof above it, good views may be had of all Glasgow and what lies beyond...I have known these places from boyhood, have climbed these Fells, Braes and mountains with my father and friends.
Please do not phone me.
Yours truly, Alasdair Gray
