The Acid House
Summary
The characters in this extraordinary book are often - on the surface - depraved, vicious, cowardly and manipulative, but their essential humanity is never undermined. Two professors of philosophy turn pugilists; Leith removal men become the objects of desire for Hollywood goddesses; God turns Boab Coyle into a house-fly; and in the novella, 'A Smart C**t', the drug-addled young hero spins off on a collision course with his past. The Acid House is a bizarre, disturbing and hilarious collection from one of the most uncompromising and original writers around. This collection contains: Conversation between Irvine Welsh and Iggy Pop The Acid House The Granton Star Cause Disnae Matter A Soft Touch Snowman Building Parts For Rico the Squirrel Where the Debris Meets the Sea Sexual Disaster Quartet Sport For All Lisa’s Mum Meets the Queen Mum Granny’s Old Junk The Two Philosophers

Trainspotting
Summary
Mark Renton is a very sick young man. He's sick of heroin and sick of trying to get off it but, above all, Renton is thoroughly sick of himself. What with vampire ghost babies, exploding siblings and disatorous sexual encounters, it's pain to see why Renton gloomily contends that 'life does not get any easier'.
