Sobre este artículo
Delta, February 1996. Trade Paperback . Good. Winner of the 1994 Booker Prize, this witty, controversial, and brilliant bestselling novel is 'a work of marvelous vibrance and richness of character' (New York Times Book Review). When an ex-convict with a penchant for shoplifting becomes blind, his stab at Disability Compensation embroils him in the Kafkaesque red tape of the welfare system.
Sinopsis
James Kelman was born in Glasgow in 1946 and is an influential writer of novels, plays and political essays. In his 1994 Booker Man prizewinning novel, How Late It Was, How Late , we are introduced to the protagonist, Sammy Samuels. An ex-convict with a penchant for shoplifting, Sammy awakens in a lane and tries to remember the two-day drinking binge that landed him there. Within the first few minutes of the story he is beaten blind by police and struggles to get by in a world of unrelenting tension and danger. This realistic portrayal of a man, written in stream of consciousness style is an unwavering novel that the reader won’t easily forget.
