A Disaffection Summary

A Disaffection by James Kelman

A Disaffection Reviews

With this novel James Kelman reveals a talent so huge in today's terms that one is tempted to mention Zola and Beckett * Independent *
His style is endlessly inventive, his characters have huge souls and his point of view is uncompromising. If people don't start listening, they only have themselves to blame * Observer *
Kelman has artistry, authenticity and a voice of singular power. A Disaffection leaves one reassured and indeed optimistic about the state of British literature today. * Independent *
