Irvine Welsh

Welsh's books have made him a cult figure within the writing world
since the 1990s. Several of his books have become best sellers and all
have a mixture of comedy, drama and hard-hitting issues...the
best-known being Trainspotting (1996) which was made into a box-office smash
worldwide at the movies in 1996. Of his other works, one other has been
brought to screen, The Acid House (1998)..a trilogy of stories and though not as
successful as Trainspotting commercially, became a cult success in his
homeland of Scotland and the UK. At time of writing, Welsh is currently
on a project writing the sequel to Trainspotting called 'Porn', which
given the success of the first film, should make him even more famous
when released as a film within the next year or so.
