{"product_id":"the-acid-house-irvine-welsh-9780393312805","title":"The Acid House","description":"He is called \"the Scottish Celine of the 1990s\" (\u003cem\u003eGuardian\u003c\/em\u003e) and \"a mad, postmodern Roald Dahl\" (\u003cem\u003eWeekend Scotsman\u003c\/em\u003e). Using a range of approaches from bitter realism to demented fantasy, Irvine Welsh is able to evoke the essential humanity, well hidden as it is, of his generally depraved, lazy, manipulative, and vicious characters. He specializes particularly in cosmic reversals--God turn a hapless footballer into a fly; an acid head and a newborn infant exchange consciousnesses with sardonically unexpected results--always displaying a corrosive wit and a telling accuracy of language and detail. Irvine Welsh is one hilariously dangerous writer who always creates a sensation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Irvine Welsh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393312801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393312805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
