The last thing Robertson needs is a messy, racially fraught murder, even if it means overtime--and the opportunity to clinch the promotion he craves. Then there's that nutritionally demanding (and psychologically acute) intestinal parasite in his gut. Yes, things are going badly for this utterly corrupt tribune of the law, but in an Irvine Welsh novel nothing is ever so bad that it can't get a whole lot worse. . . .In Bruce Robertson Welsh has created one of the most compellingly misanthropic characters in contemporary fiction, in a dark and disturbing and often scabrously funny novel about the abuse of everything and everybody.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWelsh writes with a skill, wit and compassion that amounts to genius.

This audacious novel is a brilliant (and literal) head trip of a book that brings us into the wildly active, albeit coma-beset, mind of Roy Strang, whose hallucinatory quest to eradicate the evil predator\/scavenger marabou stork keeps being interrupted by grisly memories of the social and family dysfunction that brought him to this state. It is the sort of lethally funny cocktail of pathos, violence, and outrageous hilarity that only Irvine Welsh can pull off.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Good E-Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143772651794,"sku":"","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/1009\/1026\/files\/MarabouStorkNightmares.jpg?v=1696916231"},{"product_id":"the-acid-house","title":"The Acid House","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis scintillating, disturbing, and altogether outrageous collection of stories introduces to these shores a young writer already being called \"the Scottish Celine of the 1990s\" (Guardian) and \"a mad, postmodern Roald Dahl\" (Weekend Scotsman). Using a range of approaches from bitter realism to demented fantasy, Irvine Welsh is able to evoke the essential humanity, well hidden as it is, of his generally depraved, lazy, manipulative, and vicious characters. He specializes particularly in cosmic reversals-God turns a hapless footballer into a fly; an acid head and a newborn infant exchange consciousnesses with sardonically unexpected results-always displaying a corrosive wit and a telling accuracy of language and detail. Irvine Welsh is one hilariously dangerous writer and he is bound to create a sensation.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Good E-Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143785857298,"sku":"","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/1009\/1026\/files\/TheAcidHouse.jpg?v=1696916410"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.goode-books.com\/collections\/irvine-welsh-pdf-ebooks.oembed","provider":"Good E-Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
