Lanark: A Life in Four Books : Gray, Alasdair, Boyd, William: desertcart.ae: Books Review: Not for everyone, but I love it - A very strange, but beautiful book. The reader is confused right from the start and is left to wonder what he is reading till the last part. It defies categories and is definitely not for everyone, but for those who enjoy the surreal and are willing to read a 500 page book without knowing what it is about, I strongly recommend it.

Not for everyone, but I love it
A very strange, but beautiful book. The reader is confused right from the start and is left to wonder what he is reading till the last part. It defies categories and is definitely not for everyone, but for those who enjoy the surreal and are willing to read a 500 page book without knowing what it is about, I strongly recommend it.

傑作
Grayの最高傑作というだけでなく、20世紀に英語で書かれた偉大な小説の一つと目されている作品。全体は4部に分かれ、自伝的な2部と、ディストピア小説的な2部を中心として構成されている。基本的な語りは直線的だが、何故か第3部から開始されたり、本当の結末以前に作者が登場しての結末が置かれたりと、実験的な装いもあるが、決して難解ではない。小説の中に一つの世界が構築され、小説を読んでいる間、その中に棲みこんでしまうこととなる、希な小説の一つ。広く読まれることを期待する。そのためには翻訳が必要かもしれないが。
