The acclaimed author of the cult classics emTrainspottingem and emThe Acid Houseem, Irvine Welsh has been hailed as the best thing that has happened to British writing in a decade London emSunday Timesem. This audacious novel is a brilliant and literal head trip of a book that brings us into the wildly active, albeit coma-beset, mind of Roy Strang, whose hallucinatory quest to eradicate the evil predatorscavenger marabou stork keeps being interrupted by grisly memories of the social and family dysfunction that brought him to this state. It is the sort of lethally funny cocktail of pathos, violence, and outrageous hilarity that only Irvine Welsh can pull off.
