Alasdair introduces his Gothic novel Poor Things and rereads chapters four and five - A Fascinating Stranger and Making Bella Baxter. 

I made these recordings in what turned out to be the last year of my uncle's life - so I could spend more time with him and share with you the very great pleasure of sitting quietly at home with Alasdair listening to him read and talk about books.

I couldn't have made these podcasts without the help of my family and friends:  Alasdair Gray  David Thomas - technical advice and support  Berniya Hamie – closing piano Matthew Robinson – rereads logos
