Every Short Story by Alasdair Gray 1951-2012The first sixteen tales in this collection were published by Canongate in 1983 with the title Unlikely Stories, Mostly. This collection also has fifty seven tales from later books, plus sixteen new ones published together for the first time. This last section, Tales Droll and Plausible, shows that Gray's recent twenty first century fiction is as uncomfortably funny and up to date as his earliest.
