Trainspotting is much more than literary pyrotechnics. This story of a group of working-class junkies in Edinburgh — Rents, Sick Boy, Mother Superior, Swanney, Spuds, and Begbie — is violent, rude, sexually explicit, and very, very black. But it is also a novel with genuine heart. And this, of course, is the key to its phenomenal popularity. Trainspotting is both a spirited, raunchy tour of Edinburgh's drug culture and a serious work of art that exposes the vulnerabilities and longings that unite all human beings.

Trainspotting is the hilarious, appalling, riveting, bestselling, and altogether masterful first novel that launched the spectacular career of Irvine Welsh. It is an authentic, unrelenting, and strangely exhilarating group portrait of blasted lives in Edinburgh — as unforgettable a clutch of junkies, rude boys, and nutters as readers will ever encounter.
