Mark Renton s life seems to be on track: university, pretty
girlfriend, even social success. But, in this prequel to
Trainspotting, after the death of his younger brother, Rent falls
apart and starts hanging around with his old pals, including Sick
Boy, Spud, and Begbie, and being drawn irresistibly into their
wacked-out plans.
Set against 1980s Thatcher-era Edinburgh with its high
unemployment, low expectations, and hard-to-come-by money and
drugs?Irvine Welsh s colorful crew lunges from one darkly hilarious
misadventure to the next. Gritty, moving, and exhilarating,
Skagboys paints their dizzying downward spiral with scabrous humor
and raw language."
