Trainspotting is a loosely knotted string of jagged dislocated tales that lay bare the hearts of darkness of the junkies, wide boys and psychos who ride the down escalator of opportunity in the nation's capital (Scottish). Loud with laughter in the dark, this novel is the real McCoy. If you haven't heard of Irving Welsh before don't worry you will.* This is a NEAR VG copy with some cover wear reducing it to GD+*
