«Trainspotting» is Irvine Welsh's contemporary fiction novel, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (358 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the most deprived parts of Edinburgh, the novel follows a group of young people trapped between unemployment, heroin and disillusionment. With a rough, streetwise language, Irvine Welsh narrates the daily lives of these characters—friendship, sex, football and violence—composing a dark picaresque that became a cultural phenomenon.
It belongs to the Contraseñas collection, translated by Federico Corriente. The novel was adapted into a movie by Danny Boyle.
It will appeal to those who enjoyed Danny Boyle's movie and want to read the novel that inspired it.
