Reheated Cabbage gathers stories showcasing Irvine WelshтАЩs trademark skills: vaulting imagination, brilliant vernacular ear, scabrous humor, and the ability to create some of the most memorable characters in contemporary fiction. You can enjoy Christmas dinner with Begbie at his MaтАЩs and see how he greets his sisterтАЩs boyfriend and news of their engagement. YouтАЩll discover in тАЬThe Rosewell IncidentтАЭ why aliens speak hardcore Scots English and plan to put Midlothian roughs in charge of the planet. And youтАЩll be delighted to welcome back тАЬJuiceтАЭ Terry Lawson and now internationally famous DJ Carl Ewart, and watch them as they meet an old nemesis, retired schoolmaster Albert Black, under the strobe lights of a Miami Beach nightclub. These stories, most first published in small magazines and out-of-print anthologies, are all wildly offbeat and will delight both fans of and newcomers to WelshтАЩs world.
Irvine Welsh is the best-selling author of Trainspotting, Ecstasy, Glue, Porno, Filth, Marabou Stork Nightmares, The Acid House, Skagboys, and, most recently, Dead Men's Trousers.
