The acclaimed author of the cult classics Trainspotting and The Acid House, Irvine Welsh has been hailed as the best thing that has happened to British writing in a decade (London Sunday Times). His newest and most audacious novel, Marabou Stork Nightmares, is a brilliant (and literal) head trip of a book that brings us into the wildly active, albeit coma-beset, mind of Roy Strang, whose hallucinatory quest to eradicate the evil predator/scavenger marabou stork keeps being 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.

Irvine Welsh
Humor e ironia causticamente refinados são marcas do autor que já foi técnico de TV, cantor, guitarrista de bandas obscuras de punk rock e especulador imobiliário. O talento narrativo o consagrou como um dos mais brilhantes autores britânicos surgidos nos anos 1990.
