Irvine Welsh

    27. September 1958

    Irvine Welsh widmet sich den dunkleren Seiten der menschlichen Natur und dem Drogenkonsum, oft mit einer schonungslosen Darstellung des Lebens am Rande der Gesellschaft. Seine Romane, die durchweg in seiner schottischen Heimat angesiedelt sind, präsentieren Antihelden, Kleinkriminelle und Hooligans. Trotz ihrer moralisch fragwürdigen Handlungen verleiht Welsh diesen Charakteren gekonnt eine berührende Menschlichkeit, die sie fesselnd macht. Seine ausgeprägte Prosa, häufig in seinem heimischen Edinburgher Scots-Dialekt verfasst, bietet eine herausfordernde, aber authentische und kraftvolle Leseerfahrung.

      25th Anniversary Edition

      The classic bestseller from the star of Parts Unknown and No Reservations: 25th Anniversary edition, with a new introduction by Irvine Welsh. BEFORE THERE WAS THE BEAR, THERE WAS BOURDAIN. 'Elizabeth David written by Quentin Tarantino' A.A. Gill 'Fantastic: as lip-smackingly seductive as a bowl of fat chips and pungent aioli' Daily Telegraph After twenty-five years of sex, drugs, bad behaviour and haute cuisine, chef and novelist Anthony Bourdain decided to tell all - and he meant all. From his first oyster in the Gironde as a child, to his lowly position as a dishwasher in a honky-tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown; from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop the Rockefeller Center to drug dealers in the East Village, from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again, Bourdain's tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable, as shocking as they are funny. Kitchen Confidential will make your mouth water and your belly ache with laughter and leave you wanting more. 'Compelling ... with its intriguing mix of clever writing and kitchen patois ... more horrifically gripping than a Stephen King novel' Sunday Times 'Extraordinary ... written with a clarity and a clear-eyed wit to put the professional food-writing fraternity to shame' Observer

    • *A 2022 Book to Look Forward To in the Evening Standard* Justice can be a blunt instrument Men like him usually tell the story. In business. Politics. Media. But not this time: I repeat, he is not writing this story. Ritchie Gulliver MP is dead. Castrated and left to bleed in an empty Leith warehouse. Vicious, racist and corrupt, many thought he had it coming. But nobody could have predicted this. After the life Gulliver has led, the suspects are many: corporate rivals, political opponents, the countless groups he's offended. And the vulnerable and marginalised, who bore the brunt of his cruelty - those without a voice, without a choice, without a chance. As Detective Ray Lennox unravels the truth, and the list of brutal attacks grows, he must put his personal feelings aside. But one question refuses to go away... Who are the real victims here?
