Ecstasy:

Three Tales of Chemical Romance
Copertina anteriore
10 Recensioni
W. W. Norton & Company, 1996 - 276 pagine
With three delightful tales of love and its ups and downs, the ever-surprising Irvine Welsh virtually invents a new genre of fiction: the chemical romance .

In "Lorraine Goes to Livingston," a bestselling authoress of Regency romances, paralyzed and bedridden, plans her revenge on gambling, whoring husband with the aid of her nurse Lorraine. In "Fortune's Always Hiding," flawed beauty Samantha Worthington enlists a smitten young soccer thug to find the man who marketed the drug that crippled her from birth—in order to give his a taste of his own disastrous medicine. In the upbeat final tale "The Undefeated," we experience the transfiguring passion of the miserably married young yuppie Heather and the raver Lloyd from Leith—a grand affair played out to a house music beat.

As these fools for love pursue it in all the wrong places, Ecstasy is guaranteed to set pulses racing and hearts aflutter.

Review: Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance

Recensione dell'utente  - Denise - Goodreads

Fantastic collection of three short stories. There is no doubting that some of the images Welsh creates are disturbing but surely that's the point? To have a book reminding you that this world isn't full of roses and comfy middle class homes. Brilliantly written! Leggi recensione completa
