Trainspotting Prequel Planned
From the Independent - news that Irvine Welsh is planning on writing a prequel to Trainspotting. I hadn’t got round to reading the sequel Porno yet, though I will say that Glue, Welsh’s lengthy 2001 effort which featured Spud, Sick Boy et al as secondary characters while centering in on a different and rather more understated group of four Leith friends, was very good, and relatively unsung at the time.
