Morvern Callar has been adapted as a film, and The Sopranos is to follow shortly. His short story 'After the Vision' was included in the anthology Children of Albion Rovers (1997) and 'Bitter Salvage' was included in the Disco Biscuits (1997).
Alan Warner lives in County Wicklow in Ireland. In 2003 he was nominated by Granta magazine as one of twenty 'Best of Young British Novelists'.

Phantom Limb (2024)

That Was a Shiver (2017)
James Kelman
"Kelman brings alive a human consciousness like no other writer can."
