Prequel to the bestselling phenomenon Trainspotting, this exhilarating and moving novel shows how Welshs colorful miscreants first went wrong. Marked by Irvine Welshs scabrous humor and raw Scottish vernacular, Skagboys transports us to 1980s Edinburgh, where the Trainspotting crew is just getting started. Mark Renton has it all: the first in his family to attend university, he has a pretty girlfriend and a great social life. But when economic uncertainties and family problems intervene, Rent succumbs to the defeatismnot to mention the drug usethat has taken hold in Edinburghs tougher quarters. His friends are responding according to personality. Laid off, Spud Murphy is paralyzed in the face of longterm unemployment. Sick Boy, supreme manipulator of the opposite sex, is scamming and hustling for money and drugs. And meanwhile, psycho Franco Begbie is scaring the hell out of everyone. Darkly humorous, Skagboys gives a gritty and gripping portrait of a time, not unlike ours, when money was scarce, unemployment was high, and drugs seemed the answer.
