| I read most of Irvine Welsh's novels and even went to see Filth at the theatre, but I really can't bear them now. Its not that he glamourises drugs as he has been accused of, its that he writes characters, which as a reader you are supposed to get into, that are benefit fraud scum ridden neds, and maybe it is 'the truth' for some people but its not my truth and I don't aspire to be like that so I stopped reading them, they were making me cringe. |
