Smut.

    I have recently finished all of Irvine Welsh's books from "Trainspotting" to "If you liked school, You'll love Work."
    All of which are smutty, sickening and emotional masterpieces. The fact that he writes in Scottish dialect is off-putting to many people (my mother is Scottish so I didn't have a problem).
    Is anyone else an Irvine Welsh fan, and if so, can you recommend another author that writes in the same style/subject matter etc.
    I've not come across anybody like him before or since...


    P.S. go buy his books...absolute class.

    I've only read Trainspotting and The Acid House but I really enjoyed both of them, Chuck Palahnuik would be a little bit similar to him in that his books are smutty, sickening and emotional. If you're going down that road I'd reccomend Survivor or Fight Club but I'm sure someone will come up with better ones closer to the style of Welsh.
