Un pugno di ragazzi a Edimburgo e dintorni: il sesso, lo sballo, la rabbia, il vuoto delle giornate. Sono i dannati di un modernissimo inferno chimico, dalla vita sfilacciata e senza scampo.

Sboccato, indiavolato, travolgente: l'esordio prodigioso di un grande talento letterario, il romanzo shock che ha fatto epoca e dato voce a una nuova generazione.
