How Late It Was, How Late

by James Kelman
RM33.20 MYR
How Late It Was, How Late
How Late It Was, How Late

Gritty Glasgow odyssey, relentless stream-of-consciousness.

Imagine being utterly unmoored in your own life; that's Sammy’s experience, anyone's darkest week personified, but with an undercurrent of dark humor amidst the stark realities of his world. Kelman delivers a voice that’s unforgettable, rough around the edges, yet profoundly human. It's raw and real in a way that's especially resonant for those who appreciate unflinching honesty in their literary escapes.

Description

Sammy's had a bad week - his wallet's gone, along with his new shoes, he's been arrested then beaten up by the police and thrown out on the street - and he's just gone blind. He remembers a row with his girlfriend, but she seems to have disappeared. Things aren't looking too good for Sammy and his problems have hardly begun.
