From its first publication in 1981, Lanark was hailed as a masterpiece & it has come to be widely regarded as the most remarkable & influential Scottish novel of the second half of the twentieth century. A work of extraordinary imagination & wide-ranging concerns, its playful narrative conveys at its core a profound message, both personal & political, about humankind's inability to love, & yet our compulsion to go on trying. With its echoes of Dante, Blake, Joyce, Kafka, & Lewis Carroll, Lanark has been published all over the world & to unanimous acclaim.

This edition marks the novel's return to its original publisher & features a superb new introduction by the award-winning novelist Janice Galloway, & the author's Tailpiece, a fascinating addendum to the novel.
