Alasdair Gray :: Books :: Old Negatives

Alasdair Gray's fiction notably 'Lanark', 'Unlikely Stories, Mostly', '1982', 'Janine' and 'The Fall of Kelvin Walker', is about modern states of love, faith and language and politics.

The verses in 'Old Negatives' deal with the same things, omitting politics. They have been written at different times since 1952 and are arranged chronologically to suggest growth. They are negative because they describe love mainly by its absences and reverses.
