Rodger, Johnny

Abstract:

An in-depth study, a joke, a personal testament, a tale of epic – and biblical – proportion. Glasgow Cool of Art is all of these and much, much more: Invoking the standpoint of the child, the employee, the citizen, the expert, the victim and the fan to feel the full human effect of the cataclysm which destroyed Mackintosh’s masterwork. In this poignant, delicate lament, laced with intellectual and poetic delight, Johnny Rodger’s personal destiny is intricately tied with that of the fate of one room – the Library where only 13 books survived the raging flames – lucky for them?
