How delayed the time

When Killman won the Booker Prize in 1994, for his fourth novel, How Delayed Time, one judge threatened to resign from the judging panel in protest at awarding him the prize, declaring that his novel was "literary vandalism." Other judges threatened to resign if the prize was denied to Killman. Some Scottish nobles expressed anger at the vulgar language of the protagonist, who was in a Glaskovian drunken state. Since then, Killman has published many novels about the life of the Scottish working class, and today he is described as the greatest contemporary British novelist. His comparison with James Joyce and Samuel Beckett has become common. Some critics describe him as more sarcastic and bitter than Beckett, or as a new Beckett, or another Kafka, or the best writer after Émile Zola, or as Pinter's successor, or the most entertaining of writers around us. "A beautiful novel, bold ideas free of old blind truths.. possesses great artistic and social depth. It is a wonderful work of Killman so far."
