SHORTLISTED FOR 2017 SALTIRE FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR
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.
