Poor Things - Alasdair Gray
Poor Things - Alasdair Gray
A young woman is found drowned in the Clyde and brought back to life by an eccentric surgeon. What follows is part love story, part philosophical experiment, part satire of empire and medicine and entirely its own creature.
Alasdair Gray writes with mischief and precision. The book plays with authorship, truth, and who gets to tell a woman’s story. It is darkly funny, atmospheric. intellectual and a bit wicked...For readers who like their classics a little warped.
This Dalkey Archive edition feels especially right, slightly cult, slightly scholarly, iconic. A book that has already lived a few lives.
