Description
Irvine Welsh, acclaimed author of the cult classics Trainspotting and The Acid House, presents an audacious novel that is a brilliant (and literal) head trip bringing us into the wildly active, albeit coma-beset, mind of Roy Strang. His hallucinatory quest to eradicate the evil predator/scavenger marabou stork is repeatedly 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.
