James Kelman is a Booker Prize winner with a decorated writing career and intense critical acclaim.
Kelman has been named “the greatest living British novelist” in both the Sunday Herald and Frieze Magazine.
Only Kelman’s second book set in America, Dirt Road is both a road trip through the music and culture of the American South and a beautiful coming-of-age story.
Kelman’s new novel has a unique voice and style, at once musical and meditative, that will make readers feel immersed in Murdo’s experience as he transforms his grief into epiphany through embracing the music and culture of the American South. The novel will resonate with fans of Ivrine Welsh’s Trainspotting, Zadie Smith’s NW, and Donald Ray Pollock’s Knockemstiff.
Dirt Road is the perfect book to break James Kelman to the American audience in a big way—it’s accessible, emotional, and vibrates with love for American culture.
