He has written thirteen further novels, including the number one bestseller Dead Men’s Trousers, four books of shorter fiction and numerous plays and screenplays. Crime and The Long Knives have been adapted into a television series starring Dougray Scott as Ray Lennox. Irvine Welsh currently lives between London, Edinburgh and Miami.<b>The arrival of<i> Trainspotting</i> was an earth-shaking cultural moment and it had a huge influence on me</b>… This book sings and, in the darkest moments, it shines with humour and friendship. <b>Every character here is alive</b>
- DOUGLAS STUART, Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo,
Abhorrently dark and raw to the core, <i>Trainspotting</i> is an insight into one of life’s many ugly personalities — addiction and the accompanying domino effect of grim inevitabilities… Irvine Welsh’s novel will always be a cult classic.
Culture Trip
Welsh’s skill as a storyteller is undeniable, bringing both wit and compassion to a grim subject matter. If you liked Danny Boyle’s film adaptation, you’ll love the original.
