From The Archives: Irvine Welsh – The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs0

by Daniel Robert Epstein

Irvine Welsh gained enormous notoriety (not to mention a huge cult following that overflowed into the mainstream) when the film adaptation of Trainspotting was released ten years ago. Since then he’’s written a number of other books chronicling the adventures of various fuckups, including a sequel to Trainspotting called Porno. Welsh has just released The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs, yet another narrative about fuckups — but this time it’s fuckups on their way up in the restaurant world. The protagonist is Danny Skinner, a restaurant health inspector who is also trying to figure out who his father is.
