Lanark by Alasdair Gray.

I love that book.

I remember you making a post about that some time ago. It gets very mixed reviews - sell it to me, why is it great?

It's a book with such a wide scope it's difficult to describe why it is so good in a few words. Political and personal, realist and surreal, profound and unpretentious, Lanark is an explosion of rough genius.
