James Kelman (2016 Event)

With the publication of Dirt Road, Scotland’s only Booker Prize
winner joins a Scottish publisher for the first time in decades.
This brilliantly accessible road movie of a novel arrives with
Canongate’s typical panache, alongside a film adaptation of the
book. In this event recorded live at the 2016 Edinburgh
International Book Festival, James Kelman, the writer described
by Amit Chaudhuri as ‘the greatest living British novelist’,
discusses perhaps his most significant novel yet with Brian
Taylor.
