The Sex Lives of Siamese Twins

Popis:

Lesbian passion, clinical obesity, murder, conjoined twins, and huge servings of food, sex and filthy language: it´s the brand-new Irvine Welsh... When Lucy Brennan, a Miami Beach personal-fitness trainer, disarms an apparently crazed gunman chasing two frightened homeless men along a deserted causeway at night, the police and the breaking-news cameras are not far behind. Within hours, Lucy becomes a hero. Her celebrity is short-lived, though: the `crazed gunman`, Sean McCandless, turns out to be a victim of child sexual abuse and the two men are serial paedophiles. The solitary eye-witness, the depressed and overweight Lena Sorensen, thrilled by Lucy´s heroism and decisiveness, becomes obsessed with the trainer and enrols as a client at her Bodysculpt gym. It quickly becomes clear that Lena is more interested in Lucy`s body than her own. Then, when one of the paedophiles she allowed to escape carries out a heinous sex attack, Lucy`s transition from hero to villain is complete. When Lucy imprisons Lena in her mother`s deserted real-estate blocks downtown, and can`t stop thinking about the sex lives of Siamese twins, the real problems start... In the aggressive, drill-sergeant trainer, Lucy Brennan, and the needy, manipulative Lena Sorensen, Irvine Welsh has created two of his most memorable female protagonists, and one of the most bizarre, sado-masochistic folie a deux in contemporary fiction. The Sex Lives of Siamese Twins taps into two great obsessions of our time, personal training regimes and real estate - how we look and where we live - and tells a story so subversive and dark it blacks out the Florida sun.
