Kelman, James (1946– )
Scottish novelist and short-story writer. His works are angry, compassionate, and ironic, and make effective use of the trenchant speech patterns of his native Glasgow. These include the novels The Busconductor Hines (1984), A Disaffection (1989), and How Late It Was, How Late (1994; Booker Prize); The Good times (1998) comprises 21 ‘narratives’ in which men try to come to terms with their redundancy in life.
Other works include the short-story collections Greyhound for Breakfast (1987) and The Burn (1991); and the play The Busker (1985).
