No Jeeves, no Bertie, no other Woosters, no Blandings, whoever they are, leaving plenty of room for transatlantic guys and dolls to stretch out and go over every move twice for enhanced comic effect. The marital status of Americans Jane and Packy is ...more

New York City’s fictional crooks have been literary mainstays back to Damon Runyan if not further, crossed the color line with Chester Himes, maybe sooner, like as done by Iceberg Slim, for instance, and settled into an expertly chromatic criminality ...more

A Disaffection by James Kelman

James Kelman birls out 337 pages of rampant stream-of-consciousness in A Disaffection. The author and his spewing narrator appear to be equally in love with the language and the characters of the colonized Scots, the fat-fried food, the crushing foot ...more

Keep Moving and No Questions by James Kelman

I’m partial Scots, and the wee stories (the author’s words) spun off by James Kelman’s conflicted protagonists in Keep Moving and No Questions are a vivid reminder that I might have been great and am not.

At first glance through the opening chapters, none of the characters moping along in The Spider’s House is creepy enough to be a Paul Bowles protagonist. Even Poppy “Lee� Burroughs, an homage to William S., appears innocent to her wholesome core. All ...more
