Irvine Welsh: Men in Love

There wasn’t an album they wouldn’t buy, or a drug they wouldn’t try. Then they were left with nothing. Nothing but the eternal quest of all men: the search for love.
 
Opening in the late 1980s as rave culture is born and moving into the 1990s, Men in Love sees Renton, Spud, Sick Boy and Begbie leave heroin behind and seek joy, and the hope of redemption, on the dance floor and at an unexpected event: Sick Boy’s wedding day. But is falling in love the answer, or just another doomed quest?
