Rezension zu „Mo said she was quirky “
Praise for If it is your life: - Like Kelman's best work, it is tender and funny in a way that may surprise Daily Telegraph A rollicking, riveting read ... A collection by turns heart-breaking, profound and bitterly funny. It also amply demonstrates Kelman's skill in writing about women, his rich understanding of the psychological dance that goes on between couples and strangers Scottish Herald The mixture of the precisely but surreally bureaucratic and the casually macabre is perfectly judged, while the laconic tone immediately establishes a narrative voice that draws the reader in Sunday Times A set of strange tales that both frustrate and delight ... As well as being a keen observer of society's underclasses and disenfranchised, Kelman also has a great eye for the absurdity of everyday life, something which comes to the fore in this collection Independent on Sunday The musings on men and women, and on the difficulty of connecting with other people, ring touchingly true ... James Kelman still has the power to compel Daily Telegraph Kelman portrays his world with bleakly beautiful honesty The Times
