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.
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]
