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. In 2022, he married Emma Currie, an actor and sister of Scottish pop star Momus [21] [22] Bibliography [ edit ] Novels [ edit ]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. Certain things did change. There’s certain things I just got wrong; I’m happy to be corrected. Other things [other responses] were quite affirmative. It was nice to have the motivation for what I was doing understood. The politics of the last twenty years in Britain are liars' politics. The problem is we are ruled by the weak and the small-minded, who are too stupid to know that they are weak and small-minded.”

Danny Boyle stated his wish to make a sequel to Trainspotting based on Porno which takes place nine years later. He was reportedly waiting until the original actors themselves age visibly enough to portray the same characters, ravaged by time; Boyle joked that the natural vanity of actors would make it a long wait. [1] It was the books I started reading. It was the music I started listening to. It was the television I started watching. I found myself thinking again. I tried to stop because it was only causing pain. I couldn't. When all this is in your head it has to come out into your life. If it doesn't, you get crushed.

What is the worst thing Welsh has done? For the first time all day, he refuses to answer.

On a side note, I personally think that the transcribing of the Scottish dialect phonetically really deters from the stories themselves, for I found myself getting bogged down more often than not in trying to sound out the cryptic dialogue between the characters. Separation is both traumatising and liberating, he says. Now he has started DJing again, hanging around nightclubs, living a young man’s life. We arrive at the studio. He introduces me to the production team, puts on a set of headphones and they start recording him, rapping against a heavy dance beat. His words are full of rage, but Welsh is thoroughly enjoying himself. Brendan Bettinger (11 March 2013).

Collider.com.Forse il tema della vendetta è quello che, a lungo andare, mi ha dato più da pensare. Ci sono un sacco di teorie sulla vendetta, sul porgere l'altra guancia, sull'indifferenza del "non ti curar di loro ma guarda e passa", sui vantaggi nella vendetta, che addirittura accelererebbe la guarigione. Io faccio parte della categoria dei vendicativi a parole. In teoria picchio, minaccio e faccio stragi. In pratica sono portata a cercare di comprendere, anche qualche volta a comprendere che qualcuno faccia schifo - non la maggior parte di noi, per fortuna.
