Poor Things
 Poor Things is a novel by Scottish writer Alasdair Gray published in 1992. It won the Whitbread Novel Award in 1992 and the Guardian Fiction Prize for 1992.The novel was called a magnificently brisk funny dirty brainy book by the London Review of Books and is a departure from Gray's usual subject-matter of Glasgow realism and fantasy. However its Victorian narrative takes in Gray's previous concerns with social inequalities relationships memory and identity.
