Irvine Welsh is the author of Trainspotting, Ecstacy, Filth (soon to be a major motion picture), Glue, Porno, and Crime, among other works. Welsh is also producing movies and writing screenplays. A native of Edinburgh, he lives in Chicago and Miami.
"Stocked with his usual quirky, sympathetic characters, this
rollicking new tale sparkles with the writer's trademark satiric
wit. Its heft and narrative breadth should convince any remaining
skeptics that Welsh—now effectively the grand old man of
in-your-face Scottish fiction—is a writer to be taken
seriously."
*Publishers Weekly (starred review)*
"[Welsh's] most ambitious, but also his most complete and engaging
work to date…arguably, his best book."
*Times Literary Supplement*
