AuthorJames KelmanPublished: London, Hamish Hamilton, 2008
First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Fine in fine dustjacket. A new novel from the radical Booker Prize winner. ("Only a country as disunited as the United Kingdom could produce a phenomenon like James Kelman. ... James Kelman remains one of the most distinctive writers in Britain...it is more important than ever that his voice is heard." Michel Faber, The Guardian 26/04/08) ("This is not an easy read, by any means, the narrative is restless, prioritising substance over style, stuffed with the description of what seems to be every wee tiny toty wee second. But it feels important to persist, to witness Kieron Smith, just a boy, refusing to be skelped down, climbing but never reaching, living his life" Stephen Abell, The Daily Telegraph 26/04/08). ("it is masterly, it is art", Hugo Barnacle, The Sunday Times 20/04/08)
