Filth by Irvine Welsh
Welsh writes with a skill, wit and compassion that amounts to genius. He is the best thing that has happened to British writing in decades.--Sunday Times London] O]ne of the most significant writers in Britain. He writes with style, imagination, wit, and force, and in a voice which those alienated by much current fiction clearly want to hear.--Times Literary Supplement Welsh writes with such vile, relentless intensity that he makes Louis-Ferdinand C line, the French master of defilement, look like Little Miss Muffet. --Courtney Weaver, The New York Times Book Review The corrupt Edinburgh cop-antihero of Irvine Welsh's best novel since Trainspotting is an addictive personality in another sense: so appallingly powerful is his character that it's hard to put the book down. T]he rapid-fire rhythm and pungent dialect of the dialogue carry the reader relentlessly toward the literally filthy denouement. --Village Voice Literary Supplement, Our 25 Favorite Books of 1998 Welsh excels at making his trash-spewing bluecoat peculiarly funny and vulnerable--and you will never think of the words 'Dame Judi Dench' in the same way ever again. Grade: ] A-. --Charles Winecoff, Entertainment Weekly
