«The Acid House» is Irvine Welsh's collection of short stories, published by Kiepenheuer und Witsch in 1999 in hardback (157 pages, in German).
Stories with the acerbic humour and rawness typical of Irvine Welsh, set on the margins of Scotland: poverty, drugs and violence coexist with the absurd. A man ends up turned into a fly after arguing with God, two philosophy professors come to blows, and removal men dazzle Hollywood goddesses.
The edition corresponds to number 533 of the KiWi collection from Kiepenheuer und Witsch.
For adult readers who appreciate corrosive humour, the surreal and uncompromising urban narrative.
Irvine Welsh is a Scottish novelist, short story writer, screenwriter and filmmaker. His novels and short stories, which almost always take place in his native Scotland, are known for their gritty depictions of working-class life and its intricacies; particularly drug addiction, social alienation, lack of opportunity and boredom, amongst others.
