From the inner sleeve description:
This brilliant, unsettling, and completely ridiculous anthology of tales presents to these shores a young author who has already been dubbed "a mad postmodern Roald Dahl" (Weekend Scotsman) and "the Scottish Celine of the 1990s" (Guardian). Irvine Welsh is able to convey the underlying humanity, well veiled as it is, of his often corrupt, lazy, manipulative, and violent characters using a variety of techniques ranging from harsh reality to crazy imagination. He is especially skilled at cosmic reversals, such as when God transforms a poor football player into a fly or when an acid head and a newborn baby switch consciousnesses with hilariously unexpected outcomes. He consistently exhibits a biting wit and a revealing precision in language and description. Writer Irvine Welsh is a delightfully hazardous talent who will no doubt become a household name.
