I love this book. You are brave to take on its mechanics.

I love Irvine Welsh as well. Have you ever read "Maribou Stork Nightmares?" It's my favorite novel of his. I also really like his short stories. He's got a wonderful collection with the best title ever: "If You Liked School, You'll Love Work"

Just in that paragraph I am totally mesmerized by that voice and I know exactly what you mean--if I tried to imitate this I'd fail and in other hands this could be miserable or just kind of lame, but I'm instantly in her head and carried along for the ride, an interior monologue of mind fugue poetry. Great stuff.
