Zusammenfassung

Tammas, a 20-year-old Glaswegian, is a loner and a compulsive gambler. Betting gives him as good a chance as any of discovering what he really seeks from life, since society offers him no prospect of a better alternative. James Kelman won the 1994 Booker Prize for "How Late it Was, How Late".

Chancer by James Kelman

Tammas is a gambler- when he's not at home with his sister, or at one of Glasgow's many bars, he's at the dog track or the bookie's or at the casino or occasionaly the races. Sometimes he wins, more often he loses but the gambling gives Tammas the best chance he's ever going to get to work out what's really important to him, the only chance that society is going to give him to discover himself.
James Kelman was born in Glasgow in 1946. A Disaffection won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, which he won in 1994 for How Late it was, How Late.
