Loving Alasdair: the 39 years of my life with Alasdair Gray
£12.99
May Hooper’s fascinating memoir about her long and close association with Glasgow writer and artist, Alasdair Gray – wacky, romantic, unrequited, boozy, open, compassionate, loving, a different kind of love story. The Author is a trained nurse and her medical knowledge and caring disposition helped form the bedrock of the relationship. It was a relationship that began in the early 1980s when May Hooper and Alasdair Gray met at a party in the West End of Glasgow and when Alasdair Gray asked if he could draw or paint her. At a following portrait session the two realised that they enjoyed each other’s company, that this was more than just an artist/model relationship and the friendship took off and was to last for 39 years until Alasdair Gray’s death in 2019.
