Happy birthday, Irvine Welsh! You're the only novelist who could make us laugh and cringe simultaneously. Who else but you could turn gritty tales of Edinburgh's darkest corners into timeless classics? Trainspotting wasn't just a book; it was a cultural phenomenon that had everyone choosing life despite grim circumstances—though we're still blaming Renton for our irrational fear of public restrooms.Recently, you've continued your tradition of edgy narratives with 'The Long Knives,' showcasing sharp storytelling skills—and proving yet again you're not mellowing out anytime soon. Keep stirring trouble (and stories) amid life's absurdities! Cheers to another brilliant year ahead!
