Review:
"With this novel James Kelman reveals a talent so huge in today's terms that one is tempted to mention Zola and Beckett" (Independent)
"His style is endlessly inventive, his characters have huge souls and his point of view is uncompromising. If people don't start listening, they only have themselves to blame" (Observer)
"Kelman has artistry, authenticity and a voice of singular power. A Disaffection leaves one reassured and indeed optimistic about the state of British literature today." (Independent)
