Description
"James Kelman's inimitable voice brings the stories of lost men to light in these twenty-one tales of down on their luck antiheroes who wander, drink, hatch plans, ponder existence, and survive in an unwelcoming and often comic world. Keep Moving and No Questions is a collection of the finest examples of Kelman's facility with dialog, stream-of-consciousness narrative, and sharp cultural observation. Class is always central in these brief glimpses of men abiding the hands they've been dealt. An ideal introduction to Kelman's work and a wonderful edition for fans and Kelman completists, this lovely volume will make clear why James Kelman is known as the greatest living modernist writer. Five of the stories collected here are brand new, and the rest have been significantly revised by the author for this definitive edition."

Person
James Kelman was born in Glasgow,
June 1946, and left school in 1961. He began work in the printing trade
then moved around, working in various jobs in various places. He was
living in England when he started writing: ramblings, musings, sundry
phantasmagoria. He committed to it and kept at it. In 1969 he met and
married Marie Connors from South Wales. They settled in Glasgow and
still live in the dump, not far from their kids and grandkids. He still
plugs away at the ramblings, musings, politicking and so on, supported
by the same lady.
