WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE‘A passionate, scintillating, brilliant song of a book’GuardianSammy's had a bad week.Most of it's just a blank space in his mind, and the bits that he can remember, he'd rather not. 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; and he might have been trying to fix a bit of business up with an old mate, he's not too sure.Things aren't looking too good for Sammy and his problems have hardly begun.

Kieron Smith, boy

Häftad, Engelska, 2026

202 kr

Skickas

Rejected by his brother and largely ignored by his parents, Kieron Smith finds comfort – and endless stories – in the home of his much-loved grandparents. But when his family move to a new housing scheme on the outskirts of Glasgow, a world away from the close community of the tenements, Kieron struggles to find a way to adapt to his new life.Kieron Smith, boy is a brilliant evocation of an urban childhood. Capturing the joys, frustrations, injustices, excitements, revels, battles, games, uncertainties, questions, lies, discoveries and sheer wonder of boyhood, it is a story of one boy and every boy. It is James Kelman at his very best.

Greyhound till frukost

Häftad, Svenska, 2026

188 kr

Kommande

James Kelman är en av vår tids mest betydande skotska författare – bland annat vinnare av Booker-priset 1994 – som nu för första gången översatts till svenska. Spelplatsen i de över fyrtio berättelserna i Greyhound till frukost är Glasgow och Manchester, skildrade ur ett konsekvent och orubbligt underifrånperspektiv, i surrealistiska anekdoter och till synes slumpmässiga scener. Med en sardonisk, sträv prosa, genomskuren av svart humor – inte helt olik Samuel Becketts – ger Kelman röst åt de vilsekomna som söker hitta hem bland blindskären i stadens ödemarker och hyreskaserner, på ungkarlshotell, parkbänkar och pubar.

Novellsamlingen Greyhound till frukost från sent 80-tal är ett av James Kelmans mest grundläggande verk. Det sammanfattar hans tidiga litterära produktion och ger en bred bild av detta mångfasetterat författarskap, som varit tongivande internationellt och har haft ett avgörande inflytande på dagens skotska författare.
