Nightsmares of aista Marabu. Welsh I.

Welsh is a key figure in modern British prose, a master of natural writing and the overthrow of all kinds of conventions. Your attention is offered the long -awaited reprint of the second novel “The undeniable leader in the new wave of modern British literature”, which “invariably proves that literature is the best drug” (Spin).

Roy Strelng is in a coma, but his consciousness is full of memories. Some - about the life of the Edinburgh outskirts and the exploits of football fans - are more real and conveyed by grotesquely vulgar language. Others - a fantasy about the hunt for African stork Maraba - are told by the bright, figurative syllable of the English gentleman. Both stories are excitingly interesting both in themselves and in their counterpoint: as a sharp contrast between real life, complete dirt and violence, and invented - noble and exalted.

Welsh himself recently said: "I would like to see someday the adaptation of the" Nightsmares of the Stork Marabu "made by Verner Herzog so that Michael Fassbender or Tom Hardy was in the main role."
