2016 Edinburgh International Book Festival

A Road Trip Through America With the publication of Dirt Road, Scotland’s only Booker Prize winner joins a Scottish publisher for the first time in decades. This brilliantly accessible road movie of a novel arrives with Canongate’s typical panache, alongside a film adaptation of the book. We proudly welcome James Kelman, the writer described by Amit Chaudhuri as ‘the greatest living British novelist’, to discuss perhaps his most significant novel yet with Brian Taylor.
