Nightmares of the Marabou Stork

Welsh is a key figure of modern British prose, a master of natural writing and a subverter of conventions. Here is the long-awaited reissue of the second novel by the "undisputed leader in the new wave of modern British literature" (Observer), who "consistently proves that literature is the best drug" (Spin). Roy Strang is in a coma, but his mind is brimming with memories. Some - of life on the outskirts of Edinburgh and the exploits of soccer fans - are more real and conveyed in grotesquely vulgar language. Others - a fantasy about hunting the African marabou stork - told in the vivid, imaginative syllable of an English gentleman. Both stories are thrillingly interesting in their own right and in their counterpoint: as a sharp contrast between real life, full of filth and violence, and the invented one, noble and sublime. Welch himself recently said: "I'd love to see a Werner Herzog adaptation of The Nightmares of the Marabou Stork someday, with Michael Fassbender or Tom Hardy in the lead role."
