The Close Season

4/5 ( ratings)

As the buoyancy of Liverpool’s industrial river-trade slips away into history, there are few guarantees for lives that are improvised and uncertain. Away from the defining nature of the workplace, Grant dwells on togetherness and the intimate encounters of family life. With eloquence and beauty, The Close Season bears witness to the tender urgencies of kinship and survival. A powerful and humorous story by James Kelman complements the photographs. He is one of the U.K.’s leading novelists and was the winner of the 1994 Booker Prize with his novel How Late It Was, How Late.

"No hidden agendas, no exploitation, just a short cut to knowing what it was like to be there."—Martin Parr
