- catalog abstract ""The Good Times is James Kelman's first work since he won the Booker Prize for his novel How late it was, how late. These twenty first-person narratives portray ordinary people in a language that makes glory of their lives. The narrators are men and boys who come face to face with uncomfortable truths, whether musing on mortality, encountering betrayals both devastating and trivial, or struggling to understand women and work. A boy resolves to hang up his boots after a perceived slight; a divorced man is forced to provide an alibi for his philandering friend and confront his own loneliness; a middle-aged man, awake late from his nightmares, contemplates 'a future of dwindling strengths'; a group of part-time musicians discuss Rock as Art as they wait for the soup to boil."--BOOK JACKET.".
