Irvine Welsh currently lives between London, Edinburgh and Miami.<b>Irvine Welsh is in a class of his own</b>...[his books have] a seething life in them that rivets attention and an inventiveness with story and language that continually amuses and amazes
Guardian
It is an exquisitely paced black comedy. It has clever and funny things to say. There was a rumour that Welsh's last novel, <i>Porno </i>was to be his last. You'll be glad it wasn't
Evening Standard
Flickers with the dynamism, black humour and imaginative bravado that is Welsh at his best
Financial Times
An outrageous and exhilarating foul-mouthed book
Sunday Times
Vintage Welsh: Brilliant, graphic, with frequent forays into the grotesque
Sunday Tribune
This is Welsh's tightest narrative structure in some time, and a pleasing change of pace after his previous two novels...a carefully considered blend of three-dimensional realism and expertly judged modern gothic horror. Welsh is such a convincing writer that you never doubt his plot for a moment
Literary Review
<i>The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs </i>is Welsh back on cracking, page-turning, stomach-churning, gut-busting form. You'll whiz through it, in a good way
Independent
Rattles along with impressive energy
Daily Telegraph
The great liberation of Welsh's writing is it's ability to capture the lust for freedom...the most touching and beautiful of his writings...if her carries on like this he'll start dragging the place [Scotland] back to the bloody enlightenment
Independent
This transitional phase in his life is has been mirrored by a new direction in Welsh's writing as evinced by this new book, <i>The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs</i>. The novel is less visceral than his past work and is more in dialogue with Celtic writers such a Oscar Wilde than it is music, the form he has long claimed his inspiration
