After losing his wallet and shoes, he is arrested, beaten by the police, and left to his fate, in addition to losing his sight.

A work that explores the rawness of life and the struggle for survival in extreme circumstances.
James Kelman is a Scottish novelist, short story writer, playwright and essayist. His fiction and short stories feature accounts of internal mental processes of usually, but not exclusively, working-class narrators and their labyrinthine struggles with authority or social interactions, mostly set in his home city of Glasgow. Frequently employing stream of consciousness experimentation, Kelman's stories typically feature "an atmosphere of gnarling paranoia, imprisoned minimalism, the boredom of survival."
