Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Superb. Amis and Donleavy have at last found a rightful heir.--Terry Southern, author of Candy

[O]ne of the most significant writers in Britain. He writes with style, imagination, wit, and force, and in a voice which those alienated by much current fiction clearly want to hear.

Like a master pocket billiards player, Irvine Welsh, with smooth, gliding strokes and a shard-like humor, sinks a rack of short stories one by one, with chaotic caroms, double banks, and, most of all, extraordinary uses of tricky English.--Jim Carroll, author of The Basketball Diaries

Wakey Wakey! says Fiona when she flips on the light in Keith's tank. Keith has no body, but his brain is alive. and what about you, dear reader? Heads up, because here is Irvine Welsh and The Acid House, a collection of brilliant energy. These stories both challenge and illuminate the darkest of human experience, leavening horror with humor and a sudden, sly compassion.--Kathryn Harrison, author of Exposure

Reseña del editor:

Short stories offer a satiric look at modern life, telling the stories of a man who survives with just a brain, a soccer player who is turned into a fly, and a drug addict who exchanges consciousnesses with an infant
