If you've not hit his tomes before I'd well reccomend James Kelman- Kinda like Irvine Welsh and Bank's cooler more authentic pissed uncle down the pub. His stuff is dense, hard to get into and odd- but its worth it. Last one i read was "land of the free"- or something similar, he really captures classic working class paranoia and inferiority. oops, perhaps that says more about me than him. his stuff is the nuts though, and you feel like its the real deal..i enjoy banks ( partic the bridge= masterwork) and welsh ( maribou storks= masterwork, for the same reasons as the bridge, hee..he) but he's the boss.
