By the by, I was in a bookshop somewhere in East Scotland the other day and discovered Alasdair Gray’s illustrated rendition of Dante. It’s brilliant, new to me, and although he’s sadly no longer alive, a fitting tribute to his talent. Perhaps I’m familiar enough with the vernacular, so take that with a pinch of salt and form your own view. I have met him long ago but have no other conflict of interest. (His “Lanark” captivated me as a boy).
This is so good.
