Irvine Welsh 11693 - Filth

 1551377533,
Vintage. Paperback. Pp: 394. Paperback edition of Welsh's latest novel, which is again characterised by extremely black humour, bleak social realism and imagery which at times verges on the grotesque. Widely acclaimed by many as his best piece of work since the seminal Trainspotting. With the festive season almost upon him, Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson is winding down at work and gearing up socially - kicking off Christmas with a week of sex and drugs in Amsterdam. There are irritating flies in the ointment, though, including a missing wife, a nagging cocaine habit, a dramatic deterioration in his genital health, a string of increasingly demanding extra-marital affairs. The last thing he needs is a messy murder to solve. Still it will mean plenty of overtime, a chance to stitch up some colleagues and finally clinch the promotion he craves. But as Bruce spirals through the lower reaches of degradation and evil, he encounters opposition - in the form of truth and ethical conscience - from the most unexpected quarter of all: his anus. In Bruce Robertson, Welsh has created one of the most corrupt, misanthropic characters in contemporary fiction , and has written a dark, disturbing and very funny novel about sleaze, power, and the abuse of everything. At last, a novel that lives up to its name. ISBN: 9780099591115. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
