James Kelman (2017 Event)
James Kelman, according to Alan Warner, ‘brings alive a human consciousness like no other writer can’. That’s true of his short stories as well as his novels, and is certainly true of his latest collection (his 13th) That Was a Shiver, and Other Stories. In this event filmed live at the 2017 Edinburgh International Book Festival, expect integrity and originality from the stage as well as on the page. Chaired by Brian Taylor.
