About this title

Review:

"Welsh portrays the junkie lifestyle in full brazen technicolor... It’s life with all the protective filters stripped away." (Euan Lawson BJGP)

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

"One of the most significant writers in Britain. He writes with style, imagination, wit and force" (Nick Hornby Times Literary Supplement)

"As clever as Alasdair Gray, as elegant as Jeff Torrington, as passionate as James Kelman, Welsh has got it all" (Tibor Fischer)

From the Publisher:

The seminal novel that changed the face of British fiction
