Five short stories from the undisputed funniest and filthiest writer in Britain - Irvine Welsh.

Discover five short stories from the bestselling author of Trainspotting.
In 'Rattlesnakes', three young Americans find themselves lost in the desert, held captive by armed Mexicans; in 'The DOGS of Lincoln Park', a mysterious Korean chef may or may not have something to do with the disappearance of a socialite's pooch; an English bar owner battles to keep all his balls in the air on the Costa Brava; a film biographer becomes a piece of movie memorabilia himself in 'Miss Arizona'; and in the 'Kingdom of Fife'; an ex-jockey and table-football star of Cowdenbeath takes on the charms of Jenni Cahill and her remarkable jodhpurs.

'Vigorous, stunningly funny...whimsical, warm, surreal, grotesque and brilliant' Guardian
'A rambunctious return to the glory days of Trainspotting... Dazzlingly diverse... Sick and vigorous, written with Welsh's inimitable in-yer-face energy' Sunday Telegraph

Praise for If You Liked School, You'll Love Work

Irvine Welsh is a terrific mimic... This collection of stories is a chorus of voices - rude, rough, discordant, filthy and often very, very funny. It's a pleasure to watch him larking about with the language... Brilliant

The Times

This new collection is a rambunctious return to the glory days of Trainspotting... Dazzlingly diverse... Sick and vigorous, written with Welsh's inimitable in-yer-face energy

Sunday Telegraph

This smutty, macabre collection exudes a compelling energy

Daily Mail

Vigorous, stunningly funny...whimsical, warm, surreal, grotesque and brilliant

Guardian

Scary, erotic and extremely funny
