Beschreibung
James Kelman has been a legend in the literary world since the late 1980s. He received notoriety with the publication of How Late It Was How Late, which won the Booker Prize and caused a stir when some members of the committee protested the award because they believed the book had excessive profanity. Kelman writes fiction and non-fiction and is deeply involved in class politics, in global struggles for self-determination, and in fighting what he calls ?linguistic colonialism.? He writes phonetically?spelling words as they are pronounced by Scottish people, and stands by the principle that this is a separate language and just as legitimate as ?standard English.? God's Teeth and Other Phenomenais the most straightforwardly comic novel he has written. Kelman is often compared to Samuel Beckett and Franz Kafka. In the world of literary scholarship he is considered to be on par with these figures and it is a unique opportunity for readers to be able to engage with the work of a living (and prolific) writer who has garnered so much respect as an artist in the field. von Kelman, James
