Welsh: I don’t know where that comes from. I think you can see the genesis of every story in events and such. I go around thinking what if such and such and where would that person go and I just search around my own head.

Finally there's the story that the film invests the most effort into, The Acid House. This was absolutely, the best midnight humor I've ever came across. Dirty, crazy, and makes Trainspotting, look like it copped out. A dope head switches bodies with a newly born baby, and while switch of bodies has become a comedy cliche, this one actually made it work. I laughed eccentrically and it really completed the film, if there's any reason to finish it, here you go. Next, Welsh released The Acid House, a collection of short stories from Rebel Inc., New Writing Scotland and other sources. Many of the stories take place in and around the housing schemes from Trainspotting, and employ many of the same themes; a touch of fantasy is apparent in stories such as The Acid House, where the minds of a baby and a drug user swap bodies, or The Granton Star Cause, where God transforms a man into a fly [4] as punishment for wasting his life. Welsh adapted three of the stories for a later film of the same name, in which he also appeared. Welsh's novels share characters, giving the feel of a "shared universe" within his writing. For example, characters from Trainspotting make cameo appearances in The Acid House, Marabou Stork Nightmares, Ecstasy, Filth, and slightly larger appearances in Glue, whose characters then appear in Porno.

iW: With these stories you jump so much from the social realism to fantastical extremes within the book and the film. How do you achieve that, is that just the flow of your mind? My only gripe here is that the territory is a bit narrow. If there was just a bit of variety in perspectives, I would've given it five stars. I appreciate that Welsh is at home when wr Theatre".

Those attitudes went through to other stuff, like ska, 2 Tone, and acid house. Same vibe then. It all came out of the same punk idea.

Every bit as filthy, funny and provocative as the novel that proceeded it [ Trainspotting]… Welsh's first collection of short stories is a riot of colourful characters, eye-watering vernacular and imaginative story-telling. This is one of Britain's best writers in his swaggering pomp, and the result is brilliantly addictive. Esquire As well as recreational drug use, Welsh's fiction and non-fiction is dominated by the question of working class and Scottish identity in the period spanning the 1960s to the present day. Within this, he explores the rise and fall of the council housing scheme, denial of opportunity, low-paid work, unemployment, social assistance, sectarianism, football, hooliganism, sex, suppressed homosexuality, dance clubs, freemasonry, Irish republicanism, sodomy, class divisions, emigration and, perhaps most of all, the humour, prejudices and axioms of the Scots. I read them all anyways and while some were better than others (The Granton Star Cause) most of them were not that interesting. Also really disliked 'Disnae Matter' because this included one of my biggest pet hates, when people say Disneyland when they mean Disney World. This winds me up massively!(Big Disney fan!). And none of that story had any ring of truth to it. Welsh has lived in Miami, USA since 2018, when he divorced from his Chicagoan wife. They had lived together in the Lakeview neighbourhood, [13] where he lived since 2009. [14] Prior to Chicago, USA, he lived in Dublin. [15] [16] [17]Welsh sabe a lo que nos gusta, inmundicia europea, y aunque la traducción es realmente pésima (cosa que debería justificar a las tres estrellas), mantiene la narrativa acostumbrada.

Welsh: I don’t see it as too much of a big issue. I just write the stuff I want to at the time, what feels right for me. I don’t think about what audience I may have. Writing is fairly self-indulgent. I just write to amuse myself basically. The Granton Star Cause" segment is named after an Edinburgh housing district and was filmed on location in Muirhouse and Pilton, including Ferry Road Drive.

La cât de excentric e Welsh și penița sa, ambele lucrări sunt perfecta formă de salut, un: Ei, fraiere, lasă căcaturile tale și ia bag-un ochi în ale mele.
