Trainspotting

Beschreibung

Trainspotting is the novel that launched the sensational career of Irvine Welsh - an authentic, unrelenting, and strangely exhilarating group portrait of blasted lives in Edinburgh that has the linguistic energy of A Clockwork Orange and the literary impact of Last Exit to Brooklyn. Rents, Sick Boy, Mother Superior, Swanney, Spuds, and Begbie are as unforgettable a clutch of rude boys, junkies, and nutters as readers will ever encounter.

Autor

Irvine Welsh is the best-selling author of Trainspotting, Ecstasy, Glue, Porno, Filth, Marabou Stork Nightmares, The Acid House, Skagboys, and, most recently, Dead Men's Trousers.

Rezensionen

The arrival of Trainspotting was an earth-shaking cultural moment and it had a huge influence on me... This book sings and, in the darkest moments, it shines with humour and friendship. Every character here is alive DOUGLAS STUART, Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo
