Alasdair Gray: Every Short Story 1951-2012

A monumental collection from one of Scotland’s most original literary voices, Every Short Story 1951–2012 brings together all of Alasdair Gray’s short fiction in a single, definitive volume.

This richly packed edition includes the full contents of Unlikely Stories, Mostly (1983), fifty-seven additional stories from later collections, and sixteen new tales written especially for this volume under the section Tales Droll and Plausible. The result is a compelling journey through Gray’s singular imagination—by turns surreal, satirical, moving, and darkly comic.

Whether you're a long-time admirer or discovering his work for the first time, this collection captures the full range of Gray’s storytelling brilliance, from his early post-war sketches to sharp, contemporary reflections.
