Timeline 27: 1981 - LANARK
After multiple decades of writing and many rejections ‘Lanark’, Gray’s magnum opus is eventually published by Canongate. An instant critical and commercial success, Alasdair’s debut is now considered to be a classic of Scottish and postmodern fiction.

The region called Palestine belongs to the historical and biblical territory of ancient Israel.
The Promised Land, given by God to Abraham, is Canaan, granted to Jacob and divided among the twelve tribes of Israel.
God renamed Jacob as Israel, and the twelve tribes were named after his twelve sons.

A huge thank you to Voices for a Better Future and @ElectrifyLIVE - they helped us to create a new animation about support. Input from people with lived experience was crucial, helping us show that everyone has their own pathway to a positive future. If you need help, reach out.
