I'm not gay but I'd marry Irvine WelshBy PearlyBakerIrvine Welsh is my favorite author of all time and I love how he continues to study even the most obscure characters from Trainspotting. This piece starts out so lovely and beautiful and full of hope that I was almost brought to tears by Jim's family life. I had no idea "Jim" was the ongoing tale of a character I absolutely hated from Skagboys and Trainspotting. But I loved him in this tale and so it was a tough transition for me to see him slip so easily back into complete sociopathy. Of course by the end I lost all hope for humanity and remembered that Dr. Cox was right in Scrubs when he said, "People aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling."0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Begbie = Evil = FearBy DavidFrom the first time I read The Acid House I've been a huge fan of Irvine Welsh. Not all his works have been up to that standard, and some have exceeded it, such as the excellent Glue. Few characters in any of these works are as compelling as that of Francis Begbie. Anyone who's ever spent any time in Edinburgh, or anywhere else in Scotland for that matter, knows or has met a Begbie. They are not nice - and they're not meant to be. He's the one character in Trainspotting i felt to be totally believable (except for maybe Spud), and i was disappointed he was reduced to an extended cameo role in Porno (although the climatic Begbie = Evil = Fear with Renton is the best bit of the book). So i was chuffed when i heard he'd be getting his "own" storyline in The Blade Artist. Glue it is not, and the beginning and ending are both equally unbelievable (for entirely different reasons), however the middle 3rd of the book is classic Welsh. You could argue that it is 2 fantasy segments sandwiching the real sequel to the events in Porno, and maybe that's not enough for some folks but its enough for me.One wee suggestion for Irvine though - dump Juice Terry. As a plot device he was ok in Glue, and at the end of that book there was a hint he was on the verge of transformation, but from Porno onwards he reverts to being such a 1 dimensional character he'd be better off out of the story arcs entirely.Looking forward to next installment of General Franco....2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Calculated and DisturbingBy coreyjWelsh has written another great US/Leith novel with all the deliberate and measured violence of plastic surgery. With a reformed former character, Welsh takes us on a walk through old demons and new revelations that leave a very disquieting turn in the stomach. Not for the feint of heart. The most terrifying character in Trainspotting returns -- with his own novel. Jim Francis has finally found the perfect life -- and is now unrecognisable, even to himself. A successful painter and sculptor, he lives quietly with his wife, Melanie, and their two young daughters, in an affluent beach town in California. Some say he's a fake and a con man, while others see him as a genuine visionary.But Francis has a very dark past, with another identity and a very different set of values. When he crosses the Atlantic to his native Scotland, for the funeral of a murdered son he barely knew, his old Edinburgh community expects him to take bloody revenge. But as he confronts his previous life, all those friends and enemies -- and, most alarmingly, his former self -- Francis seems to have other ideas.When Melanie discovers something gruesome in California, which indicates that her husband's violent past might also be his psychotic present, things start to go very bad, very quickly. The Blade Artist is an elegant, electrifying novel -- ultra violent but curiously redemptive -- and it marks the return of one of modern fiction's most infamous, terrifying characters, the incendiary Francis Begbie from Trainspotting. "Back to his violent best... Dark, gruesome and captivating." -- Sam Parker * Esquire * "It's a thriller in the mode of Tarantino making war films or westerns; hiding grand themes within genre." -- Alan Bett * Skinny * "Intense, electrifying... Welsh has delivered a tremendously entertaining book - a whodunit, a thriller, and a probing character study - that's obsessed with conflict, both physical and mental... A surprisingly poignant, evocative read - highly recommended." * Mr Hyde * "In a year when filming begins on Danny Boyle's sequel of sorts to Trainspotting, it seems perfect timing to revisit its most visceral force." * Skinny * "[Begbie's] intelligence and instinct make him compelling, and Welsh keep the plot roaring along... This is a dark, guilty pleasure and written with - it seems to me - the cinema screen in mind." -- Kate Muir * The Times * "Welsh's ear for dialect is superb, and the opportunity to observe Edinburgh's dark underbelly from the perspective of someone used to a gentler lifestyle far away leads to shrewd cultural insights." * Mail on Sunday * "While Welsh's sense of humour is never far from the surface of his writings...this is very much a work of dark crime fiction rather than comedy or social satire with a touch of James Ellroy." -- Hannah McGill * Scotsman * "The Blade Artist is lean...clever and propulsive. The shorter length concentrates Welsh's energy... There is a reason people still read him." -- Orlando Bird * Daily Telegraph * "No one writes about violence and class with such wit and insight as Welsh. He's a social satirist of the highest order and, with its themes of vengeance and redemption, this is a deceptively comic book with a very dark heart." * Metro * "Welsh may be a reformed character but he's still got it, and The Blade Artist is fab." -- Katy Guest * Independent on Sunday * "Fans are in for a treat" * UK Press Syndication * "This Ultra-violent but curiously redemptive new novel is both elegant and electrifying." * Glasgow West End * "An ultra-violent odyssey through the darkest recesses of urban life." * Hot Press * "Fast and fizzing, compulsively readable." * Sunday Mirror * "Horribly enjoyable" * Mail on Sunday *About the AuthorIRVINE WELSH is the author of nine previous novels and four books of shorter fiction.

Conclusion 15 Works Cited 17 Appendix A Translation 18 Appendix B Source Text 30 3 Introduction In 2012, Irvine Welsh’s book Skagboys was published. This prequel of the cult classic Trainspotting completed the Trainspotting Trilogy, consisting of Trainspotting, Porno and Skagboys. It follows the characters Mark Renton, Simon ‘Sick Boy’ Williamson, Daniel ‘Spud’ Murphy and Frances Begbie in their journey from relatively innocent teenagers to young men addicted to heroin, who will do anything in the chase for their next shot. This group of friends, situated in the harbour city of Leith, consists of many different personalities. Mark Renton is the semi-intellectual one who leads a double life as a student at the university of Aberdeen where he hides from the problems created by society, his friends and his severely handicapped brother. Sick Boy uses his intellect and his charm to get what he wants, especially from the other sex. Spud is a naive man with a heart of gold who has been unlucky his entire life and always sees the good in other people. Begbie is a severely aggressive alcoholic who detests everything to do with drugs. Together they depict the victims of the drug scene that was booming in Edinburgh and of the society that had no place for people like them.

  • "Nice Work Sisters
    From Trainspotting to Filth – Masculinity and Cultural Politics in Irvine Welsh's Writings Stefan Herbrechter Trinity and All Saints, College of the University of Leeds ________________________________________________________________________ Men still have everything to say about their sexuality. You still have everything to say about your sexuality: that's a challenge. (Alice Jardine and Hélène Cixous, in Chapman & Rutherford 1988: 21) This powerful challenge, I am going to argue, is taken up in Irvine Welsh's work. What turns this work itself into a challenge is that it combines the search for sexual identity with aspects of the wider contexts of contemporary cultural politics. It critically reflects the transition from Thatcherite to Blairite Britain. From Trainspotting to Filth, Welsh's texts have been gravitating from Scottish marginality to mainstream British culture and economic and cultural thirdwayism. This development is reflected and find its (displaced) articulation in the crisis of masculinity which has increasingly become the focus of his writings. Welsh writes about social exclusion and individualism; the local, national and global; neoliberal economy and the commodification of drugs; but maybe, above all, about the dissolution of patriarchy and the de(con)struction of masculinity, about the erosion of gender categories and the family. Welsh's male working-class and subcultural (anti)heroes have to come to terms with the social changes of their roles and their relationships to their "mates", partners and children. As individual subjects, they are portrayed in their psychotic world of self- destructive masculine sexuality and identity, and, as members of post-industrial society, in their parasitic and anachronistic position within contemporary "postfeminist" and "post-gender" culture.

Accepted: 25/02/2017 How to cite this article: Rivera Izquierdo, Ángela. “Befriending the Other: Community and Male Camaraderie in Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting.” ES Review. Spanish Journal of English Studies 38 (2017): 89‒112. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24197/ersjes.38.2017.89-112 Abstract: Set in post-Thatcherite Scotland, critics generally agree that Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting (1993) mirrors the emergence of rampant individualism and the disintegration of working-class communities in the UK. To support this view, they consider the lack of a sense of fraternity in the group and the characters’ fear of intimacy as indicative of individualism. However, it is possible to see Welsh’s ‘trainspotters’ not as atomised individuals, but as members of an alternative communitarian assemblage, as theorised in continental, post- phenomenological philosophy. Using a masculinities approach, this paper proves that the characters’ emotional detachment is representative of homosocial interactions among men trying to adhere to idealised types of masculinity and that, therefore, cannot be restricted to their alleged individualistic character. Contrarily, the kind of male friendship that Welsh describes can be considered as a paradigmatic example of Jean-Luc Nancy’s conception of the inoperative community, characterized by transcendence and exposure to alterity.

  • International Journal of Scottish Literature ISSN 1751-2808
    international journal of scottish literature www.ijsl.stir.ac.uk ISSN 1751-2808 ISSUE FIVE, AUTUMN/WINTER 2009 Is Life Beautiful? Narrative Uncertainty and ‘Literary anti-Trotskyism’ in Trainspotting Dougal McNeill You always mix in some little phrase that is not your own, And that disturbs because of the recollection it prompts! Kierkegaard, Philosophical Fragments[1] For all its shocks and provocations, Trainspotting employs a remarkably straightforward and direct style of narration. There is plenty that is difficult for the reader, to be sure, and plenty of material incorporated that is explored only rarely in most contemporary fiction, but the manner of Welsh's presentation is, at this stage in his career at least, characterised by a sort of 'up- frontness' and immediacy that serves to reinforce a sense of his work's moral seriousness and of the importance of his representational project. His narrative raw material, whether disgusting yet disgustingly plausible (all that ferreting around in the unflushed toilet Renton does early on) or moving, sympathetically portrayed and disturbing (Dawn's sudden and unexplained death) is represented in a broadly realist manner: the horror, particularly when the reader learns of Dawn's death, is that we know quite precisely what is going on. Narrative uncertainty, writerly tricks, tension and so on: these modernist or detective fiction stock-in-trade devices are noticeably absent at this stage in Welsh's work, and it is their absence that gives us a sense, when reading Trainspotting, of authorial solidarity with his characters, an evident sympathy and bond. Against conservative critics' claims that the novel is using the details of addiction and drug abuse for sensationalist ends, Welsh's matter-of-fact presentation indicates instead the presence of genuine engagement and attention.

  • Glue, the Trainspotting Novels and Transition from Working-Class Solidarity to Neoliberal Entrepreneurship
    DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/ 2175-8026.2021.e74649 GLUE, THE TRAINSPOTTING NOVELS AND TRANSITION FROM WORKING-CLASS SOLIDARITY TO NEOLIBERAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP Amaury Garcia dos Santos Neto1* 1Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil Abstract This article discusses some of Irvine Welsh’s novels considering the period of transition from an industrial to a post-industrial society. We focus on the effects of this shift on fictional characters who originate from the working classes in Edinburgh, as represented in Welsh’s Glue (2001) and the Trainspotting Novels. As such works cover the period from the early 1970’s to the late 2010’s, Welsh evidences the move from the traditional working-class ethos, typified by Union solidarity, to the neoliberal culture of entrepreneurship and its negative aspects. We discuss how Welsh depicts neoliberal practices either rendering workers redundant for the new circumstances or creating new ways to exploit labour. Keywords: Irvine Welsh; Transition; Post-industrial World; Working- class Solidarity; Neoliberal Entrepreneurship * Has a Ph.D. in Literature, Culture and Contemporaneity from Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (2015) and is currently at the closing stages of his post-doctoral research on British Literature at Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. He has researched on different themes and authors within British literature, most notably Anthony Burgess, having written a doctoral thesis on autobiographical aspects of Burgess’s novels and published articles on the topic. During his doctorate, he was a visiting researcher at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation in Manchester, England. His present studies are concerned with Irvine Welsh’s representations of the Scottish working-class ethos.
