Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Manages to be tough-hearted and tender-minded, but also drop-dead funny. * * The Times * * Menacing, witty, with snappy no-nonsense dialogue and an unambiguously shocking ending . . . Every bit as fresh as its title. * * Guardian * * His language - especially the dialogue - is exact, brimming with life and never strained . . . The result is a novel whose edgy energy carries you forward . . . a hugely entertaining, sometimes disturbing, fiction debut. * * The Scotsman * * Surprising and inventive and new. As a writer he seems quite unafraid, discovering truths and telling stories where he finds them without the need to lecture you. His language is precise and funny and alive. -- Andrew O'Hagan

Reseña del editor:

Today, Sean's brother Archie gets out of jail on early release. Which would be great if Archie weren't a little loose in the head. And if Sean didn't still owe him a grand. Testing the boundaries of brotherly love, Fresh is white-knuckle ride that brings to life one unforgettable day.
