The boys become men: Juice Terry, the work-shy fanny-merchant, with corkscrew curls and sticky fingers; Billy the boxer, driven, controlled, playing to his strengths; Carl, the Milky Bar Kid, drifting along to his own soundtrack; and the doomed Gally, exceedingly thin-skinned and vulnerable to catastrophe at every turn. We follow their lives from the seventies into the new century-from punk to techno, from speed to E. Their mutual loyalty is fused in street morality: Back up your mates, don't hit women, and, most important, never snitch-on anyone.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGlue\u003c\/em\u003e has the Irvine Welsh trademarks-crackling dialogue, scabrous set pieces, and black, black humor-but it is also a grown-up book about growing up; about the way we live our lives, and what happens to us when things become unstuck.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Welsh, Irvine","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50257220239699,"sku":"9780393322156","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":50257220272467,"sku":"XV80393322156","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/welsh-irvine-irvine-welsh-glue-2001-paperback-61009288659283.jpg?v=1737609959","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/irvine-welsh-glue-2001-paperback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
