	Marabou Stork Nightmares Book at Shop Ireland
		I,ve just re-read Marabou Stork Nightmares and it even seemed fresher than when I first read it a few years ago.
		MSN is Welsh at his best and in my conclusion has never matched the standard of this dark, unusuall almost suicidal novel.
		Marabou Stork Nightmares is a horizontol trip of urban poetry and razor sharp charecters and plot.

		Roy Strang is engaged is a strange quest in a surrealist South Africa.
		His mission is to eradicate the evil predator-scavenger bird, the marabou stork, before it drives away the peace-loving flamingo from the picturesque Lake Torto.

		"Maribou Stork Nightmares" unspools the tale of a club-hopping soccer thug from a very unlikely vantage point: its hero's unconsciousness.
		Roy Strang, a failed suicide, can hear everything going on around him in his hospital room as he recounts his ghastly upbringing in the grim council estates of suburban Edinburgh.
		When all of its realities come into play, however, Welsh's "Maribou Stork Nightmares" attains an eye-opening synergy, casting an idiosyncratic light on the surreal states in between life and death.

		The acclaimed author of the cult classics Trainspotting and The Acid House, Irvine Welsh has been hailed as "the best thing that has happened to British writing in a decade" (London Sunday Times).
		This audacious novel is a brilliant (and literal) head trip of a book that brings us into the wildly active, albeit coma-beset, mind of Roy Strang, whose hallucinatory quest to eradicate the evil predator/scavenger marabou stork keeps being interrupted by grisly memories of the social and family dysfunction that brought him to this state.
		It is the sort of lethally funny cocktail of pathos, violence, and outrageous hilarity that only Irvine Welsh can pull off.
