James Kelman's A Lean Third contains stories that were first published in Lean Tales (1985) - alongside the work of Alasdair Gray and Agnes Owens - and were revised by the author for the first Tangerine edition in 2015. This Second Expanded Edition includes a further ten stories, many of which are previously unpublished. A new preface by the author completes the picture, making this an essential addition to Mr Kelman's extraordinary body of work.
