Trainspotting - Irvine Welsh

Choose us. Choose life.

Choose mortgage payments; choose washing machines; choose cars; choose sitting on 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.

'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" - Sunday Times

'An unremitting powerhouse of a novel. Trainspotting is a loosely knotted string of jagged, dislocated tales that lay bare the hearts of darkness of the junkies, wide-boys and psychos who ride in the down escalator of opportunity in the nation's capital. Loud with laughter in the dark, this novel is the real McCoy.' The Herald
