, Powells.com "Who says punks can't age gracefully?" Gerry Donaghy wrote upon the publication of Glue , Irvine Welsh's sixth book. "A tale of four friends growing up and growing apart, Glue demonstrates a maturity and optimism typically absent in Welsh's oeuvre. This isn't to say that he's gone soft, or lost his frequently cruel sense of humor. He's still angry, still rooting for the underdog and still capable of forcing his readers to stare into the abyss that is the dark side of human nature." Welsh credits this maturity to the simple matter of a broader focus. "In the other novels I've written," the author explained, "I'm always watching people over a short time frame, putting them in an extreme position. Sometimes you don't see the humanity in a person because the time frame is so short and the circumstance so extreme."

is a boxer. His body is close to its fighting weight, his torso hardened, and the arms sinewy. His hand speed has shifted gears from the ordinary to the fast, a punch from the Leith man of letters would set strong men on their behinds and send wimps to the hospital. Iron Irvine, Leith's great white hope, is ready to rumble. The undisputed heavyweight champion of Scottish literature in the last ten years is in training for an upcoming celebrity-boxing bout, aiding a charity that endeavours to prevent youth suicides. He's scheduled to box somewhere in the UK in April, his opponent still unannounced. Welsh has been living in San Francisco, California for the last few months, training hard, punching and sparring in a gym run by two hardy Irish boxers in the city's Mission District. "I'm obsessed with it," he says. Welsh tells a tale of how boxing saved him from a kicking, or worse, in a bar on the docks of Panama City. The Panamanians mistakenly clocked the writer as a lost American tourist who had strayed into the wrong manifest destiny. The Panamanians, seething from the memory of the brutal American invasion of their country in the early nineties, were ready for some revenge. Quick on his mental feet, Irvine shuffled and defused the bomb with appeals to the collective Panamanian memory, and their boxing icon Roberto "Manos de Piedra" Duran. The great boxer had wrenched the WBA Lightweight title from the Scottish boxer, Ken Buchanan in 1972. Welsh had convinced the assailants of his Scottish nationality, through the memory of the Buchanan/Duran bout, a lucky break, an escape from the ropes. It was beers all round.

He moved with his family to Muirhouse, in Edinburgh, at the age of four. Welsh left Ainslee Park Secondary School when he was sixteen and went on to complete a City Guild course in electrical engineering. Thereafter, Welsh worked as an apprentice TV repairman until an electric shock persuaded him to abandon this work in favour of a series of other jobs, before leaving Edinburgh for the London punk scene in 1978. There, Welsh played guitar and sang in The Pubic Lice and Stairway 13. Later, he worked for Hackney Council in London and studied computing with the help of a grant from the Manpower Services Commission. After working in the London property boom of the 1980s, Welsh returned to Edinburgh where he worked for the city council in the housing department. He went on to study for an MBA at Heriot Watt University, writing his thesis on creating equal opportunities for women. Welsh published stories and parts of what would later become Trainspotting from 1991 onwards in DOG , the West Coast Magazine, and New Writing Scotland . Duncan McLean published parts of the novel in two Clocktower pamphlets A Parcel of Rogues and Past Tense: Four Stories from a Novel . Meanwhile Kevin Williamson, a member of Duncan McLean’s Muirhouse writers’ group, published sections of

Living with Music:
A Playlist by Irvine Welsh
By Dwight Garner On Wednesdays, this blog is the delivery vehicle for “Living With Music,” a playlist of songs from a writer or some other kind of book-world personage. Why? Because books and music, on good days, just seem to go together. And because the “celebrity playlists” on iTunes never get around to asking writers to pitch in.
(This starts with 4 albums, and then moves on to individual songs.) 1) Whisky Hearts 2) Outlaw their 3) Love Never Fails , Band of Holy Joy. Holy Joy were a cult 80s band led by the wonderful songwriting genius that is Johny Brown. They got back a few years ago again to do a great album on Rough Trade. An album that is never off my iPod. 4) Kill City 5) Comeback Girl , Republic of Loose. The greatest song ever written. 6) Sex Machine , James Brown. Enough said. 7) How Sweet It Is , Marvin Gaye. The man is a genius.

A veces sus novelas comparten personajes, conformando un mismo universo dentro de su escritura. Por ejemplo, varios personajes de Trainspotting hacen breves apariciones en Acid House y Marabou Stork Nightmares , y apariciones m¡s importantes en Cola , y vuelven a aparecer como protagonistas en Porno Irvine Welsh escribe en su dialecto nativo escoc©s. Generalmente transcribe el dialecto fon©ticamente, ignorando la ortograf­a tradicional. Aunque otros autores (como James Kelman y Iain Banks) ya hab­an mostrado el escoc©s vern¡culo de la clase trabajadora, muchos consideran a Welsh el maestro. A lectores no escoceses puede resultarles dif­cil descifrar este ingl©s, tambi©n se pueden perder el impacto y las referencias al fºtbol y a otros localismos as­ como a la vida cotidiana escocesa que hay en su obra. Por esa raz³n, algunas ediciones internacionales han incluido breves glosarios al final.
