«Trainspotting» is the novel by Irvine Welsh, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback (348 pages, in Spanish).
It narrates the lives of a group of young people from marginal Edinburgh, trapped between heroin, unemployment, violence and disillusionment. With streetwise, raw language, Welsh portrays with irony and harshness their daily lives, their contradictory friendships and the difficulty of escaping an environment without a future.
Second instalment of the Mark Renton saga, originally published in 1993. This Spanish edition is from 2000.
For those interested in contemporary Scottish fiction and social realism about drugs and exclusion in the nineties.
