One of the most powerful and provocative writers to have emerged in
Britain in recent years, James Kelman has engendered a good deal of
controversy over his widely reported, but often misconceived use of
'bad' language words. This introduction to the whole range of his
works, from the early short stories through the plays and essays to
the Booker Prize winning novel How Late it Was, How Late and the
latest experimental fiction, examines the embattled Kelman's
literary politics. H. Gustav Klaus pays close attention to the
Scottish culture in which Kelman's writing was nurtured, to the
uncompromising treatment of the 'underclass', the intricacies of
the narrative voice and the existentialist anguish behind it. A
writer of international reputation now, Kelman's principled
anti-authoritarianism raises uncomfortable questions about the
continuing reality of class, dominant social and literary values
and the role of writers in our time.
