Trainspotting
(Irvine Welsh)
Trainspotting is sexy, dirty, violent, sad, funny, in fact it has just about everything you could want from a book about alternative working class life in Edinburgh. Irvine Welsh has loosely connected a string of bizarre but strangely realistic tales of junkies, wide-boys and psychos who ride the circuit of pubs, drug scenes, housing estates, buses and trains at the time of the Scottish capital?s heroin epidemic.
The punch-ups, the casual -----, the family skeletons, the unburied fantasies, it gives the book suprising depth when almost every page is pulsing with testosterone, and becomes a war-zone of macho rage.
Trainspotting is the education that everyone needs. Bleak, thought provoking and brutal. This is fiction writing at it?s very best and it is an extraordinary work of art.
Irvine Welsh is the only author who has me laughing out loud at the comedy in his writing. Irvine Welsh also has the ability to get, people who don?t read books, to read books.
Irvine Welsh?s success with Trainspotting is an inspiration to all things Scottish, and is probably the best work of fiction ever to come out of Scotland.
