8. Edinburgh Book Festival 2001 - Alasdair Gray Alasdair Gray talks at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Reported on EdinburghGuide.com. http://www.edinburghguide.com/festival/2001/book/report_alasdairgray.shtml

Edinburgh Book Festival 11th - 27th August Book Festival Reports Alasdair Gray in conversation Alasdair Gray is a shy almost apologetic speaker. "I never wanted to write a major work" he says without any false modesty. Yet that is what his debut novel Lanark undoubtedly is. A masterpiece 25 years in the writing, it does for Glasgow what Joyce did for Dublin, and Gray's writing is more accessible. Since Lanark came out in 1981, he has been prolific: 14 books have followed, 7 of which are novels. He is considered a father figure to modern Scottish literature, and has just accepted a post as Professor of Creative Writing at Glasgow University. Now in his late 60s with a beard and wiry grey hair, he looks quite the part. I recommend hearing him speak to anyone who has the chance. He is self-depreciating and playfully humorous, yet never flippant. His voice jumps erratically and even squeaks when he is particularly excited - prompting him to stop and put on a deep sonorous voice for a sentence or so. He talks in tangents, mainly political. Gray is a socialist - "not so much old labour as ancient labour" - and a supporter of Scottish independence. He is proudly Scottish, but not blindly or chauvinistically so. Intelligent and generous, he comes across as a model of what a man should be.

Who’d buy me drink did I not? Don’t sit too near – I stink but crave brandy though beer will do. Thanks! Long life to us both. How I became thus, you will hear. A woman caused it, Ann Bonny by name, a little tough sailor, same as me then but twenty years older. Dressed as a man she’d swab decks, climb masts, reef sails, swear like the rest of us dodging land, law, family. She had pluck. Shame that her name did not fit her face but young men will fuck holes in planks. Those who sought swings in Ann’s hammock drove her mad. She broke my nose, being keen on a lad of fourteen who thought her a joke. Queer how shy Ann was with him near, unable to speak or look at him straight yet mending his breeks and scaring off buggars after his bum. On yardarms, she
