In sostanza: da leggere. ( ) This is one of a few Irvine Welsh books that I picked up recently on a buying spree that got a little out of control. As usual, what I read next it determined purely on my mood at that given time so I plucked this off my increasingly heavily laden bookcase. This book is a collection of 3 shortish stories all connected by drugs. In truth although I enjoyed this book I am struggling to come up with many things to write about it. The characters are all a bit over the top which seem to be very typical of Welsh. For many authors I am sure that this would grate but they seem to fit in with Welsh's writing very well. My biggest issue of contention is the fact that a lot of the dialogue is written in phonetic Scottish. This can make some of it very hard to follow. I can understand why he has done this as the Scottish language has its own pattern and flow. It also helps the tone in which certain phrases are said but it still gets a bit irritating after a while. My favourite of the 3 stories was the final one. It perfectly sums up what happened to a lot of the football firms when they discovered ecstasy and raving. I found it got the atmosphere and emotions that the rave scene had spot-on. Although I have never been a football hooligan the rave scenes were superb and really brought back some memories. Everything considered this was a decent read but I wouldn't rush out to read it again. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Irvine Welsh, el autor de Trainspotting, prefiere hablar de s mismo como de un 'activista cultural' antes que escritor. Y los crticos de la revista ID, que suelen ser rbitros muy exigentes de las ltimas tendencias, le han definido como el 'ms vital, el ms subversivo de los autores contemporneos'. En xtasis, tres narraciones tenuemente unidas por la qumica (la de las pastillas y la de los cuerpos), Irvine Welsh vuelve a demostrar su gran talento para la provocacin, y su genio para la literatura.En la primera historia, Rebecca, una popular autora de novelas de kiosco, encendidamente romnticas y floridamente histricas, cuyo marido gasta en prostitutas la fortuna que ella gana urdiendo romances, conoce a una joven enfermera, un tanto confundida con respecto a su sexualidad, y aficionada al xtasis y a las discotecas...La protagonista de la segunda, la bella Samantha, que naci sin brazos a causa de una droga imprudentemente recetada a mujeres embarazadas en los aos sesenta, conoce y enamora a un hooligan aficionado a todas las drogas contemporneas, y lo utiliza para vengarse de aquellos que causaron su deformidad...En la ltima, Lloyd es un treintaero rebelde que sigue sin rendirse a la vida burguesa y frecuenta fiestas extticas donde dice que s a todo. Pero una vaga sensacin de disconformidad le anuncia que todo eso ya no basta, y que quiz lo que ahora desea son otros xtasis mucho ms difciles. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
