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\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 480\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 9.22 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 17, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52519814398259,"sku":"9780393322156","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/QURDb1RVNUR3Vzgvd1hNSlk1dFlaUT09.webp?v=1760511215","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/glue-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
