Paperback. Zustand: Good. Welsh writes with a skill, wit and compassion that amounts to genius. He is the best thing that has happened to British writing in decades.--Sunday Times London] 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.--Times Literary Supplement Welsh writes with such vile, relentless intensity that he makes Louis-Ferdinand C line, the French master of defilement, look like Little Miss Muffet. --Courtney Weaver, The New York Times Book Review The corrupt Edinburgh cop-antihero of Irvine Welsh's best novel since Trainspotting is an addictive personality in another sense: so appallingly powerful is his character that it's hard to put the book down. T]he rapid-fire rhythm and pungent dialect of the dialogue carry the reader relentlessly toward the literally filthy denouement. --Village Voice Literary Supplement, Our 25 Favorite Books of 1998 Welsh excels at making his trash-spewing bluecoat peculiarly funny and vulnerable--and you will never think of the words 'Dame Judi Dench' in the same way ever again. Grade: ] A-. --Charles Winecoff, Entertainment Weekly. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers CIN0393318680G

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Condition: Very Good. Trade Paperback. Bright blue illustrated wrappers show light edge and corner wear, minor surface wear, and a few small impressions to the page edges. Spine remains clean and binding is sound. Photographed interior pages are clean. The novel incorporates distinctive experimental typography, including interpolated text enclosed by large graphic braces. Listing photos show the exact copy included in this sale. The novel combines unconventional detective fiction, psychological crime, and black comedy in an Edinburgh story centered on a corrupt Scottish policeman and a murder investigation. Bruce Robertson serves as an unreliable antihero whose deteriorating mental state transforms the police investigation into a dark study of corruption, addiction, abuse of power, and self-destruction. Experimental elements include an intestinal parasite that develops its own narrative voice and appears through unusual typography within Robertson's narration. The dark satire and transgressive approach distinguish the novel from conventional police procedurals. A 2013 film adaptation starring James McAvoy brought the story to a wider audience. The novel also belongs to the contemporary Scottish literary tradition associated with gritty urban fiction and Edinburgh life. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers W_322
