Synopsis
This novel caused a stir in Great Britain when it won the Booker Prize in 1994. Written in Glaswegian dialect, and rife with language best described as "earthy," "How Late It Was, How Late" concerns a layabout and petty crook who awakens one Sunday morning after a two-day pub-crawl, soon lands himself in jail, and goes blind.

Publisher's Note
Sammy, an ex-convict living in Glasgow, gets into a fight with some soldiers, only to regain consciousness in a jail cell and be questioned by the police about his girlfriend's disappearance.
Industry reviews
"Mr. Kelman's novel succeeds in every important way: it convinces, it charms, it entertains, it informs and it has life. American readers will have a little difficulty with the dialect at first, but very quickly one picks up the grammar and the peculiar diction, and after that things go clipping along very nicely indeed....It is a work of marvelous vibrance and richness of character....'How Late It Was, How Late' deserves every accolade it gets." New York Times Book Review - Richard Bausch (02/05/1995) "I now think that the language Kelman gives Sammy, especially the bad language, is designed to relieve him of any possible duty to take a deferential attitude toward objects or events. Sammy's speech lets him attend to his own desires and gestures: he owes the world nothing, not even the duty of referring to its manifestations as if they had rights....We are left with, in effect, one character, Sammy, a name, a voice, and his subjection to a few lethal events. Other characters exist mainly to send his soliloquies deeper into rage. The only words Sammy refuses to say are those with which he would pity himself. But this scruple is enough to make 'How Late it Was, How Late' a tour de force, a tour of Sammy's force, and of Kelman's." New York Review of Books - Denis Donoghue (06/08/1995)
