Review:
"Reminiscent of the great dramatic poets of 20th century literature . . . Harold Pinter and Samuel Beckett." --Los Angeles Times Book Review "It is a singular achievement that Kelman succeeds in so unsettling us . . . Something of a masterpiece." --The Independent "Reminds us that fiction can be more than parochial, more than glamorous literary noise, more than journalism. Kelman offers us a challenge. We should accept it." --The Sunday Times (London) "One of the most enjoyable writers around." --The Guardian
From the Publisher:
Formally groundbreaking and verbally dazzling, Translated Accounts is a work of compelling importance from a modern master.
