ALAN Riach: Sorcha, could you tell us first about your earliest encounters with Alasdair Gray and his work? Where did you first meet him? How did you come to read his books? And was it the writing or the art that caught your attention primarily?
Sorcha Dallas: My working relationship with Alasdair goes back to 2008 when I was running my commercial gallery – but my interest began many years before when I was studying at Glasgow School of Art and reading Lanark. Reading Lanark was a bit of a rite of passage when at art school and it shaped my and many of my peers’ thinking about what it was like to live in a place imaginatively.
