Marabou Stork Nightmares
by Irvine Welsh
Review this book!
Welsh's novel is a literal head trip of a book that brings us into the wildly active, albeit coma-beset, mind of Roy Strang, whose hallucinatory quest to eradicate the evil predator/scavenger marabou stork is routinely interrupted by grisly memories of the social and family dysfunction that brought him to this state.

The acclaimed author of the cult classic "Trainspotting" presents his newest and most audacious novel--a brilliant (and literal) head trip that introduces Roy Strang, whose hallucinatory quest to eradicate the evil marabou stork keeps being interrupted by the grisly memories that brought him to this dysfunctional state. "A fantastic trip".--Madison Smartt Bell, "Spin".
Media Reviews
"Besides being a skillful 'chronicler of the times,' he has the sensitive compassion that makes him a mature writer. His feeling of both the male and female plight, together and opposed, is quite moving, He is a man in touch with his senses. Irvine Welsh is leading the way for a new generation of Scottish writers."
