Trade Review
A pure writer, producing staggering feats of storytelling... The skill of a master * Independent *
Welsh writes with a skill, wit and compassion that amounts to genius. He is the best thing to have happened to British writing for decades * Sunday Times *
Urgent, violent, bleakly funny prose -- Nick Hornby * Times literary Supplement *
Welsh's world is spiky, trashy and brutal. It is also brilliant, hilarious and infused with a kind of punkish morality * Sunday Express *
The poet laureate of the chemical generation * Face *
