A Gorbals Legacy by Ralph Glasser
This work is a testimony to the spirit that is the Gorbals; an examination of its tenacious grasp and how it shaped Glasser's life and work. When he began his journey away from the Gorbals, setting off on his bike with the letter from Oxford in his pocket, Glasser was moving away from the squalor, hardship and constraints of life in the slums. His subsequent life was a continuation of that breaking free. Or so he thought. In Glasser's heart there was a constant beckoning, a distant drum sounding from the past. He came to realize that the presiding genius of the Gorbals would, in fact, never leave him.| SKU | Unavailable |
