James Kelman has been a legend in the literary world since the late 1980s. He received notoriety with the publication of How Late It Was How Late, which won the Booker Prize and caused a stir when some members of the committee protested the award because they believed the book had excessive profanity. Kelman writes fiction and non-fiction and is deeply involved in class politics, in global struggles for self-determination, and in fighting what he calls ?linguistic colonialism.? He writes phonetically?spelling words as they are pronounced by Scottish people, and stands by the principle that this is a separate language and just as legitimate as ?standard English.? In the world of literary scholarship he is considered to be on par with these figures and it is a unique opportunity for readers to be able to engage with the work of a living (and prolific) writer who has garnered so much respect as an artist in the field.
