An unsettling, shocking and very funny collection of short stories.
Irvine Welsh was born and raised in Edinburgh. His first novel, Trainspotting, has sold over one million copies in the UK and was adapted into an era-defining film. He has written fourteen further novels, including the number one Sunday Times bestseller Dead Men's Trousers, four books of shorter fiction and numerous plays and screenplays. Irvine Welsh currently lives between London, Edinburgh and Miami.
Every bit as filthy, funny and provocative as the novel that
proceeded it [Trainspotting]… Welsh's first collection of short
stories is a riot of colourful characters, eye-watering vernacular
and imaginative story-telling. This is one of Britain's best
writers in his swaggering pomp, and the result is brilliantly
addictive.
