Sobre este artículo
London: Secker & Warburg, 1994 0436232928. First edition. Soft cover. Some wear to covers and spine but a bright, tight copy. 374 pages. No annotations or inscriptions. Winner of the Booker Prize. "Forging a wholly distinctive style from the bruised cadences of demotic Glaswegian, the author renders the hidden depths of ordinary lives in sardonic, abrasive prose which is more revealing of feelings than could ever be expected....as uplifting a novel as one could ever hope to read." (Sunday Telegraph) .
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.
