【正文】 e literary world since the 1990s. Several of his books have bee best sellers and all have a mixture of edy, drama and hardhitting issues...the bestknown being(1996) which was even made into a boxoffice smash worldwide at the movies in 1996. Of his other works, one other has also been brought to screen,(1998)，a trilogy of stories and though not as successful as Trainspotting mercially, became a cult success in his homeland of Scotland and the UK. At time of writing, Welsh is currently on a project writing the sequel to Trainspotting called 39。, which would give the success of the first film as well, should might make him even more famous when released as a film within the next year or so. Introduction to the Novel Trainspotting is the first novel by Irvine Welsh. It takes the form of a collection of short stories, written in either Scots, Scottish English or British English, revolving around various residents of Leith, Edinburgh who either use heroin or engage in destructive activities that are implicitly portrayed as heroin addictions, which is yet another exploration of the dark side of Scottish. The other main thing that distinguishes Trainspotting (apart from its massive success) is that it contains a sense of pathos, concern and sentiment. It not so much sparked a change in Scottish literature, but it opened a new door. In fact, it opened a whole wide door to the exjunkie that a wannabe novelist’s effort as well as for the rave ‘kulchurebooksnslacking’ which are almost all without doubt utterly a waste of paper pulp and reading time. Don39。s good writing in here than the usual junk fuelled braggadocio so much more than Andrew Greig39。Trainspottings narration denigrates by proxy. “By paying attention to stray words and phrases, and by examining a key political allusion mentators have thus far ignored, this essay seeks to explain the political purpose of 39。s39。s 39。 it dealt with a subject and with an underclass that both society and fiction had largely chosen to ignore. Trainspotting was read in clubs and appealed to the chemical generation。Trainspotting, Welsh focuses on the darker side of human nature and drug use. All of his novels are set in his native Scotland and filled with antiheroes, small time crooks and hooligans. Welsh manages, however to imbue these characters with a sad humanity that makes them likable despite their obvious scumbaggery. Irvine Welsh is also known for writing in his native Edinburgh Scots dialect, making his prose challenging for the average reader unfamiliar with this style. Thereby the novel is characterized by a raw Scots dialect and brutal depiction of Edinburgh life. The whole novel describes the life of the Scottish young people Renton, Spud, Sick Boy and other friends, who are addicted to the liberty use of drug and sex, and reflects the Scottish youths’ confusion and perplexity towards friendship jobs, sex, heroin, drug and social identity they faced in their growth. As soon as this novel has been published, it has caused a tremendous stir. Sunday Times has once said, “Welsh writes the novel with a skill, wit and passion that amounts to genius. He is the best thing that has happened to British writing in decades of the most significant writers in Britain.” “He writes with style, imagination, wit, and force, Times Literary supplemented. Welsh writes with such vile, relentless intensity that he makes LouisFerdinand Celine, the French master of defilement, looks like Little Miss Muffet, Courtney Weaver mented. The New York Times Book Review The corrupt Edinburgh copantihero of Irvine Welsh39。s best novel besides indeed my favorite novel of all time. The whole book may be around drug and violence in some people’s eyes (Renton, Sick boy and Spud are pletely immersed in drugs and Begbie is equally busy immersed in violence.) however in our eyes it naturally gives the readers a fully described picture of the life and emotion which the youth held at that moment. After avoiding conviction Renton nearly overdoses and finally gets clean by cold turkey by being imprisoned by his parents. He moves to London living a life of sobriety only to be joined by Sick Boy amp。s savings they purchase drugs which they eventually sell to a London dealer. But with such morally bereft characters will they share the money or will one scarper with all the loot? A truly entertaining read but a word of warning, it is written in Scottish (Leith) dialect and takes a bit of getting used to but it is definitely worth the effort. During the World War II, Britain has undergone a series of great disasters in every field, the economy substantially declining, the rate of the unemployment increasing and the people’s living standard dropping dramatically. UK lost its dominant position, who dominated the European and world economy during the 19th century as the Empire on which the sun never sets. Together with the changing social conditions, the youth began to show their dissatisfactions with social systems. Correspondingly, people39。was one of Irvine Welsh famous novels．It is usually regarded as the milestone of her literary creation．It is an incendiary, controversial exploration of Edinburgh’s heroin subculture, characterized by his uncanny and innovative approach to his native dialect and filled to the brim with memorably unsavory characters.
