Lewis Grassic Gibbon : Sunset Song

'Finished "Sunset Song". No doubt at all about the richness, the routhiness of this book. Careless, often unnecessarily "course", to employ his own far too much over-worked word, but the humanity is there, and the bright objectiveness which is the need of modern art.'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: William Soutar      Print: Book

Lewis Grassic Gibbon : Grey Granite

'Finished reading "Grey Granite" by Grassic Gibbon. Hasn't the richness of "Sunset Song" but has much of its verve. One is ever conscious of a certain rank liveliness about G's work: much of it fermentive - like maure'
