Men In Love is a 2025 novel by Scottish writer Irvine Welsh. [1] It is a sequel to his 1993 novel Trainspotting, but set before its 2002 sequel Porno. It follows the lives of characters Renton, Begbie, Spud and Sick Boy immediately after the events of Trainspotting.
Reception
Mike Cormack gave the book a negative review in The Spectator, saying, "The impression one gets from Men In Love is that of Fat Elvis, sweating and unknowingly self-parodic in Las Vegas. Welsh desperately needs an editor with the guts to tell him this schtick isn’t working any more."[2]
