Review
'Welsh writes with a skill, wit and compassion that amounts to genius. He is the best thing that has happened to British writing for decades', Sunday Times .'One of the most significant writers in Britain. He writes with style, imagination, wit and force', Nick Hornby, Times Literary Supplement .'As clever as Alasdair Gray, as elegant as Jeff Torrington, as passionate as James Kelman, Welsh has got it all', Tibor Fischer, .'The voice of punk, grown up, grown wiser and grown eloquent', Sunday Times .'An unremitting powerhouse of a novel - Loud with laughter in the dark, this novel is the real McCoy', The Herald .'A novel perpetually in a starburst of verbal energy - a vernacular spectacular...the stories we hear are retched from the gullet', Scotland on Sunday .'This marvellous novel might feel like a bad day in Bedlam, but boy is it exhilarating', Jeff Torrington, .'The Scottish Celine', James Wood, Guardian
