His wallets gone, along with his new shoes, hes been arrested then beaten up by the police and thrown out on the street - and hes just gone blind. He remembers a row with his girlfriend, but she seems to have disappeared; and he might have been trying to fix a bit of business up with an old mate, hes not too sure.Things arent looking too good for Sammy and his problems have hardly begun.

Review A passionate, scintillating, brilliant song of a book * Guardian *Forging a wholly distinctive style from the bruised cadences of demotic Glaswegian, Kelman renders the hidden depths of ordinary lives in sardonic, abrasive prose which is more revealing of feelings that could ever be expected...as uplifting a novel as one could ever hope to read * Sunday Telegraph *A work of marvellous vibrance and richness of character… it convinces, it charms, it entertains, it informs and it has life…. How Late it Was, How Late deserves every accolade it gets * New York Times * Promotional Reissued to coincide with the 25th anniversary of winning the Booker prize Review Text A passionate, scintillating, brilliant song of a book Review Quote A passionate, scintillating, brilliant song of a book Promotional "Headline" Reissued to coincide with the 25th anniversary of winning the Booker prize Details ISBN1529112702 Author James Kelman Pages 416 Publisher Vintage Publishing Year 2019 ISBN-10 1529112702 ISBN-13 9781529112702 Publication Date 2019-09-05 Format Paperback Imprint Vintage Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom DEWEY 823.92 Birth 1946 Language English UK Release Date 2019-09-05 AU Release Date 2019-09-05 NZ Release Date 2019-09-05 Subtitle The classic BOOKER PRIZE winning novel Alternative 9781448104932 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
