Ten Tales Tall & True, 1993
This volume actually contains 14 short stories, or as Gray writes, "This book contains more tales than ten so the title is a tall tale too, I would spoil my book if I shortened it, spoil the title if I made it true." Each page that is numbered in its upper outside corner is accompanied by a brief caption of the title of the story on the left sided page and the subject on the right sided page, e.g., 22 Houses And Small Labour Parties, 23 A Willing Young Worker, 24 Houses And Small Labour Parties, and 25 The Appearance of Authority, etc. A section at the end of the book provides notes on the background of each story. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
The Book of Prefaces / Gray, Alasdair, editor ; Carroll L., 2000
Subtitled "A Short History of Literate Thought in Words by Great Writers Of Four Nations From The 7th To The 20th Century," this book was edited and glossed in the margins in red print by Gray. It is a unique history of how literature spread and developed through three British nations and most of North American States. The introductory essay, "On What Led to English Literature," traces this development through the cultural histories of five places or events: Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, Christianity, Britain and the English. Each preface has notes in small type about the author, language and events shaping the book. Alasdair Gray spent 16 years on this project. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
