Porno: Irvine Welsh (Mark Renton, 3)

Product Information

That’s another of Welsh’s obsessions: always wanting something new, better, different, and destroying what we have in the process. The first story of the three is slightly more bizarre than I've come to expect but still entertaining. When Spud and Sick Boy enter the world of organ harvesting, you know things are not going to end well.

Ecstasy is comprised of three short stories, all in relation to chemical romances and relationships. The second follows a woman who was given a drug that crippled her from birth trying to get revenge and lastly, we follow Heather who is unhappily married and looking for some new experiences. Welsh's third book (and second novel), Marabou Stork Nightmares, alternates between a grim tale of thugs and schemes in sub-working class Scotland and a hallucinatory adventure tale set in South Africa. He once said he would rather “sell my arse” in King’s Cross than settle down to a life of “home-garden-kids” dreary domesticity. Welsh left Ainslie Park High School when he was 16 and then completed a City and Guilds course in electrical engineering.And while Begbie is a renowned artist seeking sun and sanctuary in Los Angeles, Welsh is a renowned artist seeking sun and sanctuary in Miami. Ces "contes de la folie ordinaire" pour une fin de siècle conjuguent plusieurs sortes d'addiction : l'amour, la vengeance, la drogue.

There have been two hugely successful adaptations of Welsh’s debut novel for the stage Harry Gibson’s original version for the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow, which was launched the year after the book was published, and Trainspotting Live, a new “immersive theatre experience” which has been staged in a tunnel within the EICC complex in Edinburgh in recent years, but has also toured around the world. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me, because I could feel the excruciating pain and torment of everybody in the audience. Criminal and druggie Dave experiences love for the first time when he meets the armless Samantha - armless due to a pregnancy drug, Tenazadrine, given to her mother during her pregnancy and marketed to her by a few specific businessmen - men who Samantha, with Dave's help, is not ready to forgive or forget about. We’re all asking fundamental questions about identity now that the things that defined us are slipping away. On 6 May 2014, Welsh confirmed that he had spent a week with Boyle, Andrew Macdonald and the creative team behind Trainspotting to discuss the sequel.The Long Knives, his 13th novel, is a sequel to 2008’s Crime, which screened last year as a six-part BritBox series with Dougray Scott in the lead role of DI Ray Lennox.
