      ab: The article examines author's James Kelman's attempts to denationalise English in his fiction. It explores new linguistic ways forward in Kelman's novel "Translated Accounts." It discusses the particular relationship between voice and narrative in "Translated Accounts," and the anomaly in Kelman's usual commitment to Scottish voices and themes. It details how Kelman challenged literary renditions of direct speech in Scots as naturalised by the novel.
