Acid House

A classic collection of the «undeniable leader of the new wave of contemporary British literature» (Observer), which «constantly proves that literature is the best drug» (Spin). Here, in the dark underside of Edinburgh, lost people try to find some support, but life every time presents a new surprise: either the elevator will take you to the eighty-ninth floor below, or a philosophical colleague will propose to resolve a scholarly discussion with a fight, or the Lord God Himself will threaten to turn you into a fly... The film «Acid House» (in Russian release - «Acid House») marked the debut of future director «Lucky Number Slevin» and the TV series «Sherlock» Paul McGuigan; the film is an adaptation of three stories from the collection - «Common Cause „Granton Star“», «Rokhla», and the titular «Acid House». «These stories are written with such incredible energy,” said the renowned Jonathan Coe, “with such ruthless humor and such a chasm of empathy, presented in such an innovative language, structured so revolutionarily, that even the most seasoned reader will not avoid shock».
