Mavis Belfrage: With Five Shorter Tales

Like New First Edition – Mavis Belfrage is Alasdair Gray’s only straight novel about love. Five other tales describe folk in Britain’s lowest professional class between the late 1950s and 90s. This is the least fanciful of Gray’s fiction collections and will amuse readers who do not find the world comfortable and don’t expect tp escape from it alive. Includes the stories: Mavis Belfage, A Night Off, Mr Goodchild, Money, Edison’s Tractatus and The Shortest Tale. Very minor shelf wear to the extremities of the dust wrapper, contents clean, bright and tight.
