โฆ Synopsis
"The Good Times" was James Kelman's first work after winning the Booker Prize for his novel. How late it was, how late. The twenty first-person narratives portray ordinary people - men and boys facing uncomfortable truths, encountering betrayal or struggling to understand women and work. Tender and lyrical, "The Good Times" is a dazzling collection from one of the world's masters of the short-story form.
