«Trainspotting» is the novel by Irvine Welsh published by Seuil in paperback (380 pages, in French).
Four friends from Edinburgh, bound by a shared childhood, unemployment and heroin, recount their daily lives among pubs, doses and hallucinations in a marginal environment they try to escape. The novel, adapted to film by Danny Boyle, reflects their voices and desperation with a direct style and a hard portrait of friendship and addiction.
The French edition belongs to the Points collection (No. 488) and is translated by Eric Lindor Fall. Trainspotting is the second instalment of the Mark Renton series.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in marginalised youth and addiction, and in the novel that inspired Danny Boyle's film.
Irvine Welsh is a Scottish novelist, short story writer, screenwriter and filmmaker. His novels and short stories, which almost always take place in his native Scotland, are known for their gritty depictions of working-class life and its intricacies; particularly drug addiction, social alienation, lack of opportunity and boredom, amongst others.
