Irvine Welsh

The famously irascible novelist…has rules about rage. Here, in typically forthright language, he tells how to get furious - and survive.

“One solid left jab or headbutt forces the other party to consider a response.” Quite so. :)

Irvine Welsh, the author of Trainspotting, is to write a prequel to his best-seller. The new novella…which is expected to be published next year, will chart the decline of Trainspotting’s main characters such as Mark Renton and Simon “Sick Boy” Williamson from “daft young guys” to the debauched heroin addicts portrayed by Ewan McGregor and Jonny Lee Miller in the 1996 film adaptation.
