Description
Set over the course of a single night in a Scottish hotel room, this novel plunges into the fractured psyche of its narrator, Jock. As he grapples with heavy drinking and the ghosts of his past, Jock embarks on a profound, often disturbing, stream-of-consciousness journey. The narrative explores themes of regret, wasted potential, and the search for meaning amidst personal turmoil. Alasdair Gray masterfully crafts a raw and unflinching portrait of a man confronting his life's perceived failures.
