Fleck is Alasdair Gray's verse adaptation of Goethe's Faust, presented as a dramatic script and illustrated throughout by the author. Revising and reworking one of the great classics of European literature through his own distinctive Scottish voice, Gray produced a work that blends poetry, theatre and visual art in a uniquely personal way. Published by Two Ravens Press in this limited hardback edition, Fleck is among the scarcer of Gray's later publications.
