Irvine Welsh, el autor de Trainspotting, prefiere hablar de s mismo como de un 'activista cultural' antes que escritor. Y los crticos de la revista ID, que suelen ser rbitros muy exigentes de las ltimas tendencias, le han definido como el 'ms vital, el ms subversivo de los autores contemporneos'. En xtasis, tres narraciones tenuemente unidas por la qumica (la de las pastillas y la de los cuerpos), Irvine Welsh vuelve a demostrar su gran talento para la provocacin, y su genio para la literatura.En la primera historia, Rebecca, una popular autora de novelas de kiosco, encendidamente romnticas y floridamente histricas, cuyo marido gasta en prostitutas la fortuna que ella gana urdiendo romances, conoce a una joven enfermera, un tanto confundida con respecto a su sexualidad, y aficionada al xtasis y a las discotecas...La protagonista de la segunda, la bella Samantha, que naci sin brazos a causa de una droga imprudentemente recetada a mujeres embarazadas en los aos sesenta, conoce y enamora a un hooligan aficionado a todas las drogas contemporneas, y lo utiliza para vengarse de aquellos que causaron su deformidad...En la ltima, Lloyd es un treintaero rebelde que sigue sin rendirse a la vida burguesa y frecuenta fiestas extticas donde dice que s a todo. Pero una vaga sensacin de disconformidad le anuncia que todo eso ya no basta, y que quiz lo que ahora desea son otros xtasis mucho ms difciles.

"Seven authors have visited seven different countries and spoken to young women and girls about their lives, struggles and hopes. The result is an extraordinary collection of writings about prejudice, abuse and neglect, but also about courage, resilience and changing attitudes. Proceeds from the sale of this book will go to Plan, one of the world's largest child-centered community development organizations"--P. [4] of cover.

Because I am a girl

"Irvine Welsh returns to Edinburgh, the home of Trainspotting and so many of his novels since, with a new novel featuring one of his most iconic and beloved characters 'Juice' Terry Lawson that's thick on the Scottish brogue, heavy on the filth and masterful in its comedic timing.  A Decent Ride sees Irvine Welsh back in Edinburgh, this time with one of his most compelling and popular characters front and center: the rampaging force of nature that is 'Juice' Terry Lawson, first seen in Glue. Juice is a man who contains multitudes: he's a top shagger, drug-dealing, gonzo pornstar and taxi driver. As we ride along in Juice's cab through the depraved streets of Edinburgh, Juice encounters a series of charmingly filthy characters, each of whom present their own, uh, unique challenges. Has he finally met his match in Hurricane 'Bawbag'? Can he discover the fate of the missing beauty, Jinty Magdalen, and keep her idiot-savant lover, the man child Wee Jonty, out of prison? Will he find out the real motives of unscrupulous American businessman and reality-TV star, Ronald Checker? And, crucially, will Juice be able to negotiate life after a terrible event robs him of his sexual virility, and can a new fascination for the game of golf help him to live without... a decent ride? (The meaning of the title is starting to sink in now, huh?). So buckle your seatbelts and prepare for one unforgettable ride"--

Marabou Stork Nightmares

Die volle Ladung Leben - ein Klassiker der Underground-Literatur Mietskasernen, Arbeitslosigkeit, miese Pubs, viel Alkohol und jede Menge Drogen: das ist der Alltag in Leith, einem heruntergekommenen Vorort von Edinburgh. Das ist auch der Alltag von Renton, Spud, Begbie, Sick Boy und Dianne, einer Clique von jugendlichen Außenseitern, in deren Leben sich fast alles um Drogen dreht. Wer kein Junkie ist, wird bald einer werden oder war einer oder wird bald wieder einer sein. Neben Stuff, Rausch, Entzug, Sex, Frust und Gewalt gibt es aber auch noch die Musik. Und wenn diese Anti-Helden schon alle den Blues haben, so doch zumindest mit 160 beats per minute.
