SHORTLISTED FOR SALTIRE FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR, 2017 LONGLISTED FOR THE EDGE HILL PRIZE, 2018
A trucker passes through a town he used to know and a local tries to sell him his sister; a couple put their children to bed and hear a loud scratching at the wall; a Principal and his associate examine the dead body before them; a man looks into a mirror and reflects on becoming more like his father.
Sparky, touching and brilliantly daring, these stories uncover human feeling in the ordinary and the everyday, and are a reminder of Kelman's exceptional talent.
