Description

"For anybody who gets at the top of vocabulary, this guide is just a wonderful journey,a genuine tour-de force."—Madison Smartt Bell, SpinThe recommended writer of the cult classics Trainspotting and The Acid House, Irvine Welsh has been praised as "a good thing that's happened to English publishing in ten years" (London Sunday Times). This audacious story is just a fantastic (and literal) head journey of the guide that provides us in to the extremely energetic, although coma-beset, brain of Roy Strang, whose hallucinatory mission to expel the bad predator/scavenger marabou stork keeps being disrupted by grisly recollections of the interpersonal and household disorder that introduced him to this condition. It's the type of lethally interesting drink of assault, pathos, and crazy humor that only Irvine Welsh may accomplish.
