Lanark's eponymous character is a resident of Unthank, a dark, nearly deserted city, whose residents live in constant fear of disease and abduction by unknown forces. This novel is a successful fusion of Joyce, Dante and William Blake, wrapped up in a way that anybody who has been scared of reading Gray's literary antecedents can find accessible.
