WATERSTONE'S SCOTTISH BOOK OF THE YEAR
THE BOOK OF PREFACES
.\//(,\(//(’i/Il) (Ii/Nil
Beautifully presented and eccentrically composed, Alasdair Gray's long awaited 'The Book of Prefaces' is an idiosyncratic stroll through literature in English from Caedmon in 075 AD to Wilfred Owen in 1920, based entirely on prefaces. Margin notes, or glosses, Wi'lllCH by Gray and a team of others, maintain a running commentary that is informative, insightful and often very offbeat. Gray is often as entertaining as those he chooses to write about. if not mor Walton said in the preface to The Compleat Angler",
e so. lgaaia
guoted here, that "I hate made a
recreation of a recreation." Alasdair Gray has done much the same and created an essential
and unusual anthology. Bloomsbury £35.00 ku Waterstone's Price £25.00
