Synopsis "Can Nothing Save Us?"

Irvine Welsh's searing thriller takes us to Las Vegas, as a divided family is forced to confront the past and reckon with a dangerous future

Molly and George Warburton are used to living life their own way. She was an actress; he was her lawyer. Now, in the ferocious heat of Sin City, the couple are facing up to their failures and final years.

They announce that their grandson Luke – college dropout, aspiring writer, electronic dance music aficionado – will inherit their millions. It is sudden news that leaves their daughter Gina hell-bent on revenge.

Yet Luke’s good fortune, and his freedom, will not last. When a strange newcomer to the neighbourhood insinuates himself into the Warburtons’ world, it is the beginning of a chain of chilling events that could split the family permanently and put all their lives at risk.

The question is, do they have what it takes to survive?

A new book by Irvine Welsh is always an event . . . No living author is as entertaining to read - GQ

So propulsive . . . about as much fun as you can have between two book covers - The Times (on Dead Men’s Trousers)

Can Nothing Save Us? is a big American novel and applies the same sharp-eyed realism that Trainspotting brought to working-class Edinburgh to Trump’s US. Set in the scorching heat of Las Vegas, it’s a multigenerational thriller - Guardian

Powerful . . . A bracing and engaging read - Daily Telegraph (on Crime)

Irvine Welsh es un novelista, guionista y escritor escocés nacido en Leith, Edimburgo, en 1958. Considerado una de las voces más influyentes de la literatura británica contemporánea, alcanzó notoriedad internacional con Trainspotting (1993), una obra que retrata con crudeza y humor negro la vida de jóvenes de la clase trabajadora en Escocia. Su experiencia en los ambientes urbanos de Edimburgo y Londres, así como su interés por los márgenes de la sociedad, han marcado profundamente su narrativa. Welsh es conocido por el uso del dialecto escocés y por construir historias pobladas por personajes complejos, a menudo enfrentados a la adicción, la exclusión social y la búsqueda de identidad.

Entre sus obras verificadas destacan Trainspotting, The Acid House, Marabou Stork Nightmares, Filth, Glue, Porno y Skagboys. Esta última novela, publicada en 2012, funciona como precuela de Trainspotting y explora los orígenes de personajes emblemáticos como Mark Renton y Simon “Sick Boy” Williamson antes de su caída en la drogadicción. A lo largo de su carrera, Welsh también ha trabajado en cine, teatro y televisión, consolidando un universo literario interconectado que ha influido en generaciones de lectores y escritores.
