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 begunAbout the AuthorJames Kelman was born in Glasgow in 1946. His books include Not not while the giro, The Busconductor Hines, A Chancer, Greyhound for Breakfast, which won the 1987 Cheltenham Prize, and A Disaffection, which won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. His most recent novel, How late it was, how late won the 1994 Booker Prize. James Kelman lives in Glasgow with his wife and two daughters.Table of ContentsA passionate, scintillating, brilliant song of a book,Beautiful, spirited thoughts hard up against the old brute truths...enormous artistic and social depth...James Kelman\'s best book,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,Gritty, realistic and bleak, but the overall tone is strangely positive. The fast pace of the narrative, Kelman\'s dry humour and the indomitable spirit combine to provide a liberating read
