The arrival of Trainspotting was an earth-shaking cultural moment and it had a huge influence on me… It shines with humour and friendship. Every character here is alive -- DOUGLAS STUART, Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo (on Trainspotting) The voice of punk, grown up, grown wiser and grown eloquent * Sunday Times (on Trainspotting) * So propulsive...about as much fun as you can have between two book covers * The Times (on Dead Men's Trousers) * No one captures the competing affections and resentments that underpin lifelong friendships like Welsh * Esquire (on Dead Men's Trousers) *
