The Acid HouseIrvine WelshLabel: VintageDescription: The characters in this extraordinary 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.
