![]() I have listened to Trainspotting well over 30 times and read a physical copy at least as many times and still learn new things about Welsh’s writing and this unique piece of post-modern art. You can also adjust the playback speed to less than 1.0x, with 0.8x providing the best comprehensibility without sounding artificial. ![]() The book offers glossary as well which can aid in familiarizing yourself with the variety of jargon and slang. For listeners who have a difficult time understanding the vernacular of the different dialects spoken, it may help to read along if you also have the book. This creates a feeing of existing in real-time without the preconception of period based specificity and allows the listener to feel closer to the characters and their stories. ![]() The chronology is mostly ambiguous due to the presence of some chapters existing originally as short stories and the lack of real dates outside of it being known to be the close to the early 90s. ![]() The book presents a very unique style of presentation and prose which characterizes most of Welsh’s work. Tam Dean Burn provides, at minimum, a riveting performance that sees him effortlessly maneuver a multitude of raw Scots and British English dialects-both Male and Female-with explosive bursts of passion that make the experience feel completely genuine. Trainspotting, along with most of Irvine Welsh’s catalog, is a visceral experience in both writing and audiobook. ![]()
