“WE are mighty right mankind's king, with minds of love! chieftain of all lord almighty.”
Alasdair James Gray (28 December 1934 – 29 December 2019) was a Scottish writer and artist. His first novel, Lanark (1981), is seen as a landmark of Scottish fiction. He published novels, short stories, plays, poetry and translations, and wrote on politics and the history of English and Scots literature. His works of fiction combine realism, fantasy, and science fiction with the use of his own typography and illustrations, and won several awards. [source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alasdair_Gray)
