Growing Up in the Gorbals by Ralph Glasser
"Growing Up in the Gorbals" describes Ralph Glasser's impoverished childhood and adolescence in Glasgow's slum tenements. "Gorbals Boy at Oxford" takes him, with a scholarship, to Oxford; into the army; and back to wartime Oxford. With "Gorbals Voices", "Siren Songs", Ralph Glasser concluded his brilliant autobiographical sequence: venturing in to the perplexing, wayward world of postwar London.
.. a classic... he caught both the people and the place... and there are passages which stand comparison with Zola and Gorky. * The Observer *
