Description
In this compelling character study, James Kelman plunges readers into the inner world of Patrick Doyle, a 29-year-old Glasgow schoolteacher grappling with a profound sense of discontent. Over the course of a single, transformative week, Doyle makes a momentous decision to alter the trajectory of his life, embarking on a journey of self-discovery and rebellion against societal expectations. Written in Kelman's signature stream-of-consciousness style and rendered in vivid Scots, the novel offers a raw and unflinching exploration of alienation, identity, and the quiet desperation that can fuel radical change.
