Destined to become a cult classic of writing on drug addiction* Irvine Welsh [Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man] *
It's an honest and wonderfully crafted book by a man as intoxicated by language as he was by crack – A.L. Kennedy. * Guardian [Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man] *
I loved Bill Clegg's Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man because of its unflinching honesty... There is a passage in it in that is among the most tender and desperate I have ever read. It is also extremely funny. * Observer [Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man] *
