Quatrième de couverture :
'He strafes the airwaves with a cacophonous range of voices, comic, sad, abusive, recalcitrant' Scotland on Sunday
'Another season in hell with Irvine Welsh, and god it's invigorating...The collection as a whole is sick, horrific, occasionally moving and very funny' New Statesman
An unsettling, shocking and very funny collection of stories. The characters in this extraordinarty book are often - on the surface - depraved, vicious, cowardly and manipulative, but their essential humanity is never undermined. Two professors of philosophy turn pugilists; Leith removal men become the objects of desire for Hollywood goddesses; God turns Boab Coyle into a house-fly; and in the novella, 'A Smart Cunt', the drug-addled young hero spins off on a collision course with his past.
The Acid House is a bizarre, disturbing and hilarious collection from one of the most uncompromising and original writers around.
'Told with such vigour and alertness, such scathing, unmerciful humour, such compassion and such reserves of linguistic and structural invention that nobody could come away from them without feeling thoroughly elated' Jonathan Coe, Sunday Times

Un volume di racconti che rivelano un Welsh fulmineo, incisivo e capace di sorprendere con la varietà delle invenzioni. Accanto all'umanità "trash" di «Trainspotting», che si muove fra atmosfere più tese della suspense e i grotteschi rovesciamenti di ruoli cari all'autore (vittime che diventano carnefici, attori nelle vesti di spettatori): Victoria Principal, Kim Basinger e Madonna che sfogliano un'improbabile rivista dedicata al jetset proletario di Leith sognando le attenzioni di un operaio; un ultrà che si risveglia dal coma da acido nei panni di un ragazzo perbene dalla "middle calss" inglese; i giochi pericolosi di un maniaco, che scambia finzione cinematografica e realtà, sotto la telecamera piazzata nel suo appartamento.
