Dead Junkies Jeans

The recent novel of the «undisputed leader of the new wave of contemporary British literature» (Observer), which «consistently proves that literature is the best drug» (Spin). Returning from Scotland to California, Begbie — the most obsessed of the Edinburgh guys we have long known, who has retrained as a successful sculptor and seemingly buried his former aggression deep within — encounters Renton on the plane. And Renton, who has feared such a meeting for twenty years, is utterly surprised: Begbie does not want to fight and seems not to think about revenge at all. Over the years, Renton has matured as well, becoming a well-known manager in the club and DJ scene, living alternately in Holland and the States. Sick has moved to London, running a new type of escort agency. And the eternal loser Spud Murphy has been promised an easy side job — and he gets involved in the smuggling of human organs. A cruel twist of fate brings the old friends together — and not everyone will survive this meeting. Who will fit into the Dead Junkies Jeans? «It's happened! Renton, Begbie, Sick, and Spud are together again», — writes the Sunday Times. And if the author is to be believed, this is their last adventure.
