Présentation de l'éditeur :

'The Good Times' was James Kelman's first work after winning the Booker Prize for his novel 'How Late it Was, How Late'. The twenty first-person narratives portray ordinary people - men and boys facing uncomfortable truths, encountering betrayal or struggling to understand women and work. Tender and lyrical, 'The Good Times' is a dazzling collection from one of the world's masters of the short-story form.
