Choose us. Choose life. Choose mortgage payments; choose washing machines; choose cars; choose sitting oan a couch watching mind-numbing and spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fuckin junk food intae yir mooth. Choose rotting away, pishing and shiteing yersel in a home, a total fuckin embarrassment tae the selfish, fucked-up brats ye've produced.
Choose life.

Reviews

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)

Abhorrently dark and raw to the core, Trainspotting 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.

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.

Welsh writes with a skill, wit and compassion that amounts to genius. He is the best thing that has happened to British writing for decades

One of the most significant writers in Britain. He writes with style, imagination, wit and force

The voice of punk, grown up, grown wiser and grown eloquent

An unremitting powerhouse of a novel - Loud with laughter in the dark, this novel is the real McCoy

A novel perpetually in a starburst of verbal energy - a vernacular spectacular...the stories we hear are retched from the gullet

The Scottish Celine
