Description

Since 1981, when Alasdair Gray's first novel Lanark was published by Canongate, his characters have aged as fast as their author.

The Ends of Our Tethers shows the high jinks of many folk in the last stages of physical, moral and social decrepitude - a sure tonic for the young.

The first work of fiction in over six years by one of Britain's most original and brilliant writers, this wonderful (and very funny) new collection reaffirms Gray's position as a master of the short story.

The Ends of Our Tethers is vintage Gray - experimental, mischievous, wide-ranging but also subtly connected. And as always the work is hallmarked with his highly engaging prose style, dry wit and fecund imagination.

These thirteen tales challenge prejudice, question social imbalances and explore human foibles.

Beautifully produced and illustrated throughout with Gray's distinctive drawings, this is an important and highly accessible collection.
