"Vigorous, stunningly funny...whimsical, warm, surreal, grotesque and brilliant" Guardian "Irvine Welsh is a terrific mimic... This collection of stories is a chorus of voices - rude, rough, discordant, filthy and often very, very funny. It's a pleasure to watch him larking about with the language... Brilliant" The Times "This new collection is a rambunctious return to the glory days of Trainspotting... Dazzlingly diverse... Sick and vigorous, written with Welsh's inimitable in-yer-face energy" Sunday Telegraph "This smutty, macabre collection exudes a compelling energy" Daily Mail "Scary, erotic and extremely funny" Literary Review
