Shortlisted for the 2015 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse prize for comic fictionA rampaging force of nature is wreaking havoc on the streets of Edinburgh, but has top shagger, drug-dealer, gonzo-porn-star and taxi-driver, 'Juice' Terry Lawson, finally met his match in Hurricane 'Bawbag'?Can Terry discover the fate of the missing beauty, Jinty Magdalen, and keep her idiot-savant lover, the man-child Wee Jonty, out of prison?Will he find out the real motives of unscrupulous American businessman and reality-TV star, Ronald Checker?And, crucially, will Terry be able to negotiate life after a terrible event robs him of his sexual virility, and can a new fascination for the game of golf help him to live without... A DECENT RIDE?A Decent Ride sees Irvine Welsh back on home turf, leaving us in the capable hands of one of his most compelling and popular characters, 'Juice' Terry Lawson, and introducing another bound for cult status, Wee Jonty MacKay: a man with the genitals and brain of a donkey. In his funniest, filthiest book yet, Irvine Welsh celebrates an un-reconstructed misogynist hustler - a central character who is shameless but also, oddly, decent -and finds new ways of making wild comedy out of fantastically dark material, taking on some of the last taboos. So fasten your seatbelts, because this is one ride that could certainly get a little bumpy...

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Irvine Welsh

Irvine Welsh nasceu na Escócia, em Edimburgo. Abandonou o liceu aos 16 anos e teve vários empregos, mas gostou tão pouco de trabalhar quanto de estudar. Rumou a Londres, nos anos 1970, onde conheceu a cena punk e voltou aos estudos. Mais tarde, de novo em Edimburgo, fez um MBA e começou a escrever. Um primeiro esboço - feito a partir de diários antigos - veio a dar origem ao seu romance de estreia, Trainspotting, publicado em 1993. Desde a adaptação deste ao cinema, em 1996, que Irvine Welsh se dedica inteiramente à escrita, tornando-se uma figura algo controversa no seio da crítica literária, estatuto agravado pelo sucesso comercial dos seus livros. Ecstasy, publicado em Portugal pela Quetzal, foi o primeiro paperback a transitar directamente para o lugar cimeiro da lista dos best-sellers do Sunday Times. Em 2005 Irvine Welsh casou-se pela segunda vez. Vive actualmente em Dublin e passa grandes períodos do Inverno em Miami Beach.
