Skagboys addict is the ultimate individualist.." "" remarks, "It was known that there was more material of "Trainspotting" than went into the final draft, but that’s true of most novels. So you anticipate a lashed-together series of outtakes and bloopers. What you get is something quite different. The prequel has all the marvellous set pieces, the schemes, stories, scams and dreams and the same mad profusion of narrators that characterises everything Welsh has written. But it’s long, strange, full of lush description that gives the whole thing a haunting and elegiac quality". Skagboys Skagboys is a 2012 novel by Scottish writer
Prequel Prequel A prequel is a literary, dramatic, or cinematic work whose story precedes that of a previous work, by focusing on events that occur before the original narrative. A prequel is a work that forms part of a backstory to the preceding work. All "prequels" are, by definition, essentially sequels in that they "expand on a "previous" or "preceding" work." The term is a 20th-century neologism that is a portmanteau of the prefix "pre-" (from Latin "prae", "before") and "sequel". Like other sequels, prequels may or may not concern the same plot as the work from which they are derived.
