Trainspotting By Irvine Welsh - Vintage 0 copies for sale
5.0 (1 Reviews) Category: Fiction Subategory: Title: Trainspotting Author: Irvine Welsh Publisher: Vintage First Published: 1994 First Reviewed By: Raphaelthegromit Rating Trend Rating Distribution  5 stars 100% 4 stars 0% 3 stars 0% 2 stars 0% 1 star 0%	Synopsis: Trainspotting Irvine Welsh's controversial first novel, set on the heroin-addicted fringe of working-class youth in Edinburgh, is yet another exploration of the dark side of Scottishness. The main character, Mark Renton, is at the center of a clique of nihilistic slacker junkies with no hopes and no possibilities, and only "mind-numbing and spirit-crushing" alternatives in the straight world they despise. This particular slice of humanity has nothing left but the blackest of humor and a sharpness of wit. American readers can use the glossary in the back to translate the slang and dialect--essential, since the dialogue makes the book. This is a bleak vision sung as musical comedy. 0 copies of this book for sale	View / Add Photos (1) new! buy and sell new& used books using paypal
Reader's Reviews For Trainspotting By Irvine Welsh Iconic Raphaelthegromit 5.0 (29.03.2010) A dark gritty portrait of life as a addict in down and out Scotland. At the time of publication just about every soon to be twenty male had read it, it became a part of a generation and the foundation of reviving British movies on the international scene. It's very very Scottish and very hard to understand in places if you are not from that side of the border which can interrupt the flow. Other than that it's his first and best work.    © copyright kwango.co.za www.kwango.co.za   Website by Gin And Tonic www.ginandtonic.co.za
