A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

'Kelman has artistry, authenticity and a voice of singular power' Independent

Patrick Doyle is a twenty-nine-year-old teacher in an ordinary comprehensive school. Isolated, frustrated and increasingly bitter at the system he is employed to maintain, he begins his rebellion, fuelled by drink and his passionate, unrequited love for a fellow teacher.

'His style is endlessly inventive, his characters have huge souls and his point of view is uncompromising. If people don't start listening, they have only themselves to blame' Observer

Revue de presse :

"With this novel James Kelman reveals a talent so huge in today's terms that one is tempted to mention Zola and Beckett" (Independent)

"His style is endlessly inventive, his characters have huge souls and his point of view is uncompromising. If people don't start listening, they only have themselves to blame" (Observer)

"Kelman has artistry, authenticity and a voice of singular power. A Disaffection leaves one reassured and indeed optimistic about the state of British literature today." (Independent)
