“People like violence because it’s a great buzz.”
– Irvine Welsh
Scottish author Irvine Welsh is so cool that he had the audacity to stand up David Bowie, twice. Think about that for a second. Welshy has an imagination like a hydrogen bomb; He is the brilliant mind behind such classics as Trainspotting, Porno, Glue, Filth, The Acid House, and my personal favorite, Maribou Stork Nightmares. But he is not the bad-boy that his reputation might suggest. He’s smooth as a con-man – witty, wise, sarcastic, and cunning. Plus, he once survived falling down a fire escape… what’s not cool about that? He’s a great guy, an honorable man and it was a pleasure to interview him. His most recent book is a sweet collection of short stories, titled If You Liked School You’ll Love Work. Seriously, is there anything he can’t do?
SuicideGirls chatted with Welsh about his creative process, violence, sex and asked him to share an excerpt of the most recent thing he’s written. To our delight, he kindly obliged….
