Abstract / Description of output
The article discusses several Scottish novels that deal with realism and postmodernism. It explores the contradictions between "Beside the Ocean of Time" by George Mackay Brown, who is a modernist writer, and "How Late It Was, How Late" by quintessential working-class writer James Kelman. It also looks at how Alasdair Gray has combined realism and fantasy in the 1981 novel "Lanark: A Life in Four Books."
