How Late It Was How Late by James Kelman
WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE A passionate, scintillating, brilliant song of a book Guardian Sammy's had a bad week. Most of it's just a blank space in his mind, and the bits that he can remember, he'd rather not.
A passionate, scintillating, brilliant song of a book * Guardian *
Forging a wholly distinctive style from the bruised cadences of demotic Glaswegian, Kelman renders the hidden depths of ordinary lives in sardonic, abrasive prose which is more revealing of feelings that could ever be expected..as uplifting a novel as one could ever hope to read * Sunday Telegraph *
A work of marvellous vibrance and richness of character… it convinces, it charms, it entertains, it informs and it has life…. How Late it Was, How Late deserves every accolade it gets * New York Times *
