Lanark is een modern visioen van de hel dat zich afspeelt in de uiteenvallende steden Unthank en Glasgow. Het vertelt de verweven verhalen van Lanark en Duncan Thaw. Hoewel het een werk van buitengewone, speelse verbeelding is, draagt het een diepe boodschap uit, zowel persoonlijk als politiek, over het onvermogen van de mens om lief te hebben, en onze innerlijke dwang om het te blijven proberen.
