The characters in this extraordinary book are often
- on the surface
- depraved vicious cowardly & 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; & in the novella A Smart Cunt the drug-addled young hero spins off on a collision course with his past. The Acid House is a bizarre disturbing & hilarious collection from one of the most uncompromising & original writers around.
