Men In Love

The arrival of Trainspotting was an earth-shaking cultural moment and it had a huge influence on me… It shines with humour and friendship. Every character here is alive

DOUGLAS STUART, Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo (on Trainspotting)

The voice of punk, grown up, grown wiser and grown eloquent

Sunday Times (on Trainspotting)

No one captures the competing affections and resentments that underpin lifelong friendships like Welsh

Esquire (on Dead Men's Trousers)

So propulsive...about as much fun as you can have between two book covers

The Times (on Dead Men's Trousers)

A bold, electric new chapter in the Trainspotting universe… Darkly funny, blisteringly sharp, and emotionally raw, Men in Love is a story about yearning, identity, and whether love can ever truly save us from ourselves

Essential Marbella Magazine

Electrifying

Country & Town House

There are plenty of moments that showcase Welsh at his best… it is hard not to be charmed by its flair and insolence… [and] Welsh has not lost his feel for the particular rhythms and textures of addiction

Guardian

Drugs, bad sex, ripe Scottish vernacular… the colloquial vigour of the writing never flags

Mail on Sunday

These characters remain alive on the page, more than 30 years on

Daily Mail

The simple ease and joy with which he [Welsh] reinhabits these vivid characters makes this his paciest, funniest, most page-turning book in years

Scotsman

Like all his best work, Men in Love is propulsive, hilarious and bittersweet in equal measure, as wise on the curdling of intense teenage friendships as it is on the early, doomed attempts we embark on in our twenties to settle down and fall in love

GQ

Brilliant

Irish Sunday Mirror

There’s no slacking in either the pace or the energy of the prose… what Welsh does so brilliantly, [is] mixing registers and revealing unsuspected depths in his characters
