The Best Blurb I’ve Seen in Ages

The back of Alasdair Gray’s 1982, Janine. I promptly secured the book.

Hilarious!! That made my day. there’s a party game that’s really fun to play with writers. One person reads the blurb on the back of a book. That person copies the actual blurb, and the others try to write winnable fakes. Everyone votes. It’s a hoot. I’d love to use this book for the game.

I think I tried to read an Alasdair Gray book back in the bad old days of the Scottish lit renaissance (Trainspotting era)….
