«No trobareu una lectura més estimulant, en aquests temps foscos.» Irvine WelshDesprés de tenir un accident de cotxe, en Jarred ha d''acceptar que no podrà caminar mai més i es veu obligat a tornar a casa del seu pare, amb qui no parla des de fa deu anys. Mentre s''encaren als traumes familiars del passat i intenten crear una nova relació menjant dònuts i cuidant orquídies, en Jarred haurà d''aprendre a transitar per la vida sense caure en l''autodestrucció.Els personatges d''El covard són viscerals i honestos, profundament humans, impossibles d''oblidar, i no busquen endolcir el tràngol ni despertar llàstima. Brutalment divertida, aquesta novel·la tendra i provocadora és una reflexió sobre el dolor i el perdó i com sobreviure en un món que no està pensat per a tothom, i també sobre les oportunitats que tenim per reconstruir-nos. The Guardian — «Sorprèn des de les primeres línies. Punyent, gairebé de manera intolerable. Un viatge emocional que t''inspira; tendre, savi, una novel·la brutalment divertida.»The Times — «Escrita amb perspicàcia i amb una astúcia salvatge, és edificant perquè McGinnis és un realista que no intenta ensucrar l''experiència amarga d''intentar transitar per la vida amb cadira de rodes. Els seus personatges són vívids i impossibles d''oblidar, i hi ha un rerefons d''optimisme que ens mostra les diverses maneres en què les nostres vides enfangades es remouen i es transformen en alguna cosa millor.»Irvine Welsh — «Aquest llibre tan bonic és un testament de com la gent pot tornar a forjar vincles emocionals trencats i reparar relacions que semblaven perdudes, malgrat tot. No trobareu una lectura més estimulant, en aquests temps foscos.»
