In the world of Porno, however, even the cons are conned. Sick Boy and Renton jockey for top dog. The out-of-jail and in-for-revenge Begbie is on the loose. But it's the hapless, drug-addled Spud who may be spreading the most trouble.
Porno is a novel about the Trainspotting crew ten years further down the line: still scheming, still scamming, still fighting for the first-class seats as the train careens at high velocity with derailment looming around the next corner.
"A version of the English language that has seemingly been poured into a blender and whirred at high speed with a handful of razor blades."GQ
"Welsh's ear for dialect doesn't fail him in this worthy successor, and his fans won't be disappointed."Library Journal
"A worthy sequel.... Charming, funny and sly, Porno is a good poke at all kinds of pretence and moral tidiness."Evening Standard [London], Melanie McGrath
