Intimate new stories from the Booker Prize-winning James Kelman. He 'brings alive a human consciousness like no other writer can' ALAN WARNER
SHORTLISTED FOR SALTIRE FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR, 2017 LONGLISTED FOR THE EDGE HILL PRIZE, 2018 A local tries to sell his sister to a trucker as he passes through town; a couple put their children to bed and hear a loud scratching at the wall; 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.
