The story follows Patrick Doyle, a secondary school teacher in Glasgow, during a week of his life in which he experiences a personal and existential crisis.

The novel offers a raw and realistic look at the life of a man who faces his own contradictions and the pressures of society.
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."
