About The Author

Irvine Welsh was born and raised in Edinburgh. His first novel, Trainspotting, has sold over one million copies in the UK and was adapted into an era-defining film. He has written thirteen further novels, including the number one bestseller Dead Men’s Trousers, four books of shorter fiction and numerous plays and screenplays. Crime and The Long Knives have been adapted into a television series starring Dougray Scott as Ray Lennox. Irvine Welsh currently lives between London, Edinburgh and Miami.

Vigorous, stunningly funny…whimsical, warm, surreal, grotesque and brilliant

Other text

Irvine Welsh is a terrific mimic… This collection of stories is a chorus of voices – rude, rough, discordant, filthy and often very, very funny. It's a pleasure to watch him larking about with the language… Brilliant
