	Review - Book: 1982, Janine
		Labeling Alasdair Gray's vision throughout 1982, Janine as psychotic - or manic, dystopic or otherwise deranged - is a largely shortsighted observation.
		Were 1982, Janine mere smut as it has been accused of being it would fail to explore the humor and pathos of its peddler.
		As a whole, 1982, Janine reads like a series of separate narrative experiments, most of which work well in illustrating how and why MacLeish is mired by the arresting perversions that he is.

	Alasdair Gray - Questionnaire 2
		I thought of the first line of a story (This is a good room) and the end where he foresees himself next morning, looking very ordinary to those who do not know that for him waiting on a train is a great balancing act, like walking a tightrope.
		I read Lanark and 1982, Janine to friends a chapter a time as I wrote them and also handed out typescripts of work in progress.
		With reference to Lanark and 1982, Janine could you describe in general terms the book's origins, gestation and publishing history with special reference to length of time taken in writing; the influences in its composition; its publishing and reception by your audience.

	Re-Figuring Imperialism
		Gray's 1982, Janine, Cohen's Beautiful Losers and Atwood's Surfacing contest the cultural, political and economic hegemony of an imperial other by allegorizing colonized territory as a bondage and violation of the female body.
		Alasdair Gray's 1982, Janine is influenced by Atwood's and Cohen's subversions of Empire.
		Later when Janine is trapped and trying to escape, she will remember that she was given a chance to leave and refused because of money.

		janine is in print (well, was reissued in 03 with an introduction by will self, and amazon has it.) also is possibly best novel ever written.
		I thought Janine was pretty fantastic, and it's so in print that it's the only book of his I've ever seen in stores here (and I've been checking).
		Certainly Janine and Lanark are by a long way the best things he's done, and much of his later stuff seems different in a way that's hard to pin down.

		In "1982 Janine," the protagonist, Jock McLeish, an alcoholic security installations supervisor, indulges in sado-masochistic fetishistic fantasies in his lonely hotel room.
		"1982 Janine" is a serious commentary on human sexuality--its functions and importance in life, and Jock represents the millions of lonely people who lead unsatisfying and lonely lives while drowning their sorrows with alcohol and trying desperately not to think about life--the mistakes they've made, and the regrets they nurse.
		No doubt "1982 Janine" is offensive to some, but to me, it was fresh, brave and funny--in a rather odd way.

		'When I was working on 1982, Janine, after Lanark had apparently been a success, I wrote half of it then ran out of money.
		'1982, Janine revived my flagging impetus to continue writing fiction myself.' It is Gray's own favourite; his best work, he believes.
		So Jock, in 1982, Janine, is an electrician who installs security alarms.

	SciFan: Books: 1982 Janine by Alasdair Gray (from our database of Fantasy & SF novels, anthologies, collections)
		1982, Janine is a liberal novel of the most satisfying kind.
		Set over the course of one night inside the head of Jock McLeish, an aging, divorced, alcoholic, insomniac supervisor of security installations, as he tipples in the bedroom of a small Scottish hotel, it makes an unanswerable case that republicanism is a state of absolute spiritual bankruptcy.
		1982, Janine explores themes of male need and inadequacy through the lonely, darkly comic, alcohol-fueled fantasies of its protagonist.

	'1982 Janine' by Alasdair Gray reviewed on the official website of Laura Hird
		They involve one of the characters, mostly Janine, being transported to a scene in which she has to audition by walking into a room full of men and being seductive.
		No discussion of ‘1982, Janine’ would be complete without addressing the elaborately described and scripted sexual fantasy scenes.
		This effect, the studs clicking while Janine walks into a room is played several times throughout and the reader develops an almost Pavlovian response to it.

	Paperback - 1982 Janine - Canongate Home
		An unforgettably challenging book about power and powerlessness, men and women, masters and servants, small countries and big countries, Alasdair Gray's exploration of the politics of pornography has lost none of its power to shock.
		1982 Janine is a searing portrait of male need and inadequacy, as explored via the lonely sexual fantasies of Jock McLeish, failed husband, lover and businessman.Yet there is hope here, and the humour (if fl) and the imaginative and textual energy of the narrative achieves its own kind of redemption in the end.
		'1982 Janine has a verbal energy, an intensity of vision that has mostly been missing from the English novel since D. Lawrence.'

		1982, Janine is not pornography but a thoughtful and sad study of the human predicament; to be trapped in a world where the little man, woman or country will always be exploited by the big bullies."

		Furthermore, Jock McLeish, the narrator of 1982 Janine (1984), is a lonely alcoholic who indulges in drunken sado-masochistic fantasies to obscure the misery of his waking existence.
		Such a psycho-analytic reading of fantasy must reduce it to the symbolisation of various shocking and revolting activities - as Jackson concludes, "on a thematic level, and fantastic literature is not necessarily subversive" (175).
		Though the thematics of fantasy may often be reactionary, fantasy in its highest form is a challenge to various presuppositions of Western culture: the "unified, stable 'ego'" and other such "categorical structures" are threatened by "fantastic works where the 'I' is more than one" (Jackson 176).

		His phrase ‘work as if you were living in the early days of a better nation’ has become a slogan for the distinctive Scottish resistance to Thatcherism'.
		Poor Things (1992) represents a return to the more overt experimentation of Lanark and 1982 Janine (1984).
		For many it also represents a return to form and was the winner of both the Guardian Fiction Award and the Whitbread Prize for Best Novel.

	Alasdair Gray Interview on official website of Laura Hird
		In Chapter 11 of ‘1982, Janine,’ my narrator suffers a mental breakdown so that at least three voices are raving in his head simultaneously.
		It may be true that my typographical antics in ‘1982, Janine’ had not been previously used to the same extent, but I had first used them in ‘Unlikely Stories, Mostly,’ and got ideas for them from the mouse’s tale (and tail) in ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and gnat’s speech in ‘Through the Looking Glass.’
		When half way writing my third book ‘1982, Janine’ I ran out of money so had to do other jobs because Canongate could not pay me the £1000 advance which would have given me time to finish it.

		Gray, as any reader of Lanark or 1982, Janine will probably glean, has had his lonely years.
		When Gray finished 1982, Janine, the novel that he considers his best, he was rather shocked by what he had written, the pornographic waking dream of a divorced electrician.
		It is not only in 1982, Janine that Gray tends towards the sexually explicit.

		The formal nature of the book is never deconstructed.
		For experimental typography, pick up some Dadaist poetry or look at Alasdair Gray’s “1982, Janine” and as for undoing the formal aspects of the book object you can either look at B.S. Johnson or even search your local games shop for old You Are the Hero In..
		I come to prose from poetry and perhaps that is why I have a particular interest in the language of prose - and also perhaps why the much heralded “linguistic autism” of Safran Foer calls to mind Craig Raine’s Martian poetry.
