Reviews

A pure writer, producing staggering feats of storytelling... The skill of a master
*Independent*

Welsh writes with a skill, wit and compassion that amounts to genius. He is the best thing to have happened to British writing for decades
*Sunday Times*

Urgent, violent, bleakly funny prose
*Times literary Supplement*

Welsh's world is spiky, trashy and brutal. It is also brilliant, hilarious and infused with a kind of punkish morality
*Sunday Express*

The poet laureate of the chemical generation
