Irvine Welsh's first short-story collection since his debut work The Acid House presents five extraordinary stories, which remind us that he is a master of the short form, a brilliant storyteller, and-unarguably-one of today's funniest and most subversive writers. In \"Rattlesnakes\" three young Americans, lost in the desert, are accosted by two armed Mexicans. A Korean chef and a Chicago socialite find themselves connected through the disappearance of a pooch named Toto in \"The D.O.G.S. of Lincoln Park.\" And in the title story, Mickey Baker-an ex-pat English bar owner living on the Costa Brava-tries to keep all of his balls in the air: maintaining his barmaid's weight at the sexual maximum, attending to the youthful Persephone, and dodging his ex-wife and Spanish gangsters.In typically Welshian fashion, the characters and settings are anything but typical. These stories will make you laugh and gasp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856002580768,"sku":"NEW039333077X","price":24.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61X4QT96OnL.jpg?v=1781545035","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/if-you-liked-school-youll-love-work-039333077x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
