Description
"Thought-provoking" short stories from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of How Late It Was, How Late and Kieron Smith, Boy ( Scotsman ). A trucker passes through a town he used to know and a local tries to sell him his sister; a couple put their children to bed and hear a loud scratching at the wall; a Principal and his associate examine the dead body before them; a man looks into a mirror and reflects on becoming more like his father. Sparky, touching, and brilliantly daring, these stories uncover human feeling in the ordinary and the everyday, and are a reminder of Kelman's exceptional talent. Shortlisted for the Saltire Fiction Book of the Year · Longlisted for the Edge Hill Prize. "Kelman brings alive a human consciousness like no other writer can." -- Alan Warner, award-winning author of The Man Who Walks "The mixture of the precisely but surreally bureaucratic and the casually macabre is perfectly judged." -- The Times "Kelman is on another level to most of the living writers in the UK." -- The Guardian "Kelman has always been a true and honest writer; which is why he is one of the fairly few who really matter." -- Scotsman "Kelman's language is immediately exciting; like a musician, he uses repetition and rhythm." -- The New Yorker.
