Your explanation was clear enough to me. It's always very difficult
to talk about your own work.

And to be honest, that 'Cindy-like thing' is very difficult to
explain and is obviously very subjective. What I mean is that it is
more a feeling than anything else. Or a colour if you want.

When I read "Middlesex" I immediately thought about Cindytalk. Sure
there's the gender issue as obvious common point but there's much
more than that. There's a certain way of seeing reality through
dreamy eyes(ouch ! now it's my turn to sound unclear !). I guess you
could call that transfiguration (hmmm and now I'm soundin'
snobbish... oh well...)
When I read Eugenides' first novel "The virgin suicides" I also
thought about Cindy. Yet there was no gender issue in that one.
However the tone and the colours were already there. Dreamy dreamy
dreamy yet real, so real.
But maybe you won't agree with me because your vision of Cindytalk is
certainly very different.

I have read "Lanark" already. It is a wonderful book too. The
structures used by Alasdair Gray are incredible. And as I consider
Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" to be one of the best story
ever written, I just could love "Lanark". And Duncan Thaw is my
hero ! ;-)
But I read "Lanark" after hearing mr Gray in Wappinschaw so I guess
my feeling was biased from the very beginning with that one : the
connection with Cindytalk was indeed more than obvious...
Thanks for the recommantion though.

Another artist I link to Cindytalk is maverick american director
Terrence Malick.
Again this is just my opinion...

cheers
