Kelman's first book since his 1994 Booker Prize-winner, How late it was, How late. Seven years in the writing, his fifth novel is set in an unnamed territory that appears to be under military rule. It comprises various transcribed and/ or translated first-hand narratives of non-English speakers, reminiscent of accounts of incidents in Rwanda, Yugoslavia and even the Cultural Revolution. "It is a singular achievement that Kelman succeeds in so unsettling us... Something of a masterpiece." The Independent
