''Porno'' (2002) is a novel by Irvine Welsh and is the sequel to ''Trainspotting (novel)Trainspotting''.We rejoin the central characters of ''Trainspotting'' a decade later, as their paths cross again in Leith, this time involving the pornography business, rather than heroin use. They are joined by some of the cast of ''Glue (book)Glue''.Sick Boy feels he is a failure in life. He has been married with children and is now divorced. Despite the fact that he thinks he is smarter than all around him he has yet to make it rich as he has always hoped. Some new chance encounters draw him to the conclusion that his only chance to make it big is to produce a pornographic film. To do so, however, he needs to regain contact with some friends from the first novel whom he would rather forget about.spoiler
Plot Outline - The novel is divided into 3 sections, each of which comprises of many chapters with different narrators. Unlike ''Trainspotting'' which had more narrational diversity, ''Porno'' is reduced to just 5 narrators: Sick Boy, Renton, Spud, Begbie and Nikki. Another difference from the format of ''Trainspotting'' is that each character has a defined chapter heading : Sick Boy = Scam # 18,732(-18,753); Renton = Whores of Amsterdam Pt 1(-12); Spud = Title; Begbie = TITLE; Nikki = ". . . quote from chapter . . .". Each narrator is associated with a distinctive prose style. Renton, Sick Boy, and Nikki's chapters are written almost entirely in "standard" English while Begbie and Spud's chapters are heavily influenced by Scottish dialect. For example, in Chapter 25, Spud narrates, "So ah'm downcast when ah git intae the library, thinkin tae masel" ("So I'm downcast when I get into the library thinking to myself"). Sick Boy's returning grandiose nature is featured in imagined interviews with John Gibson of the ''Evening News'' and Alex McLeish.
Section 1: Stag - In Leith, Sick Boy comes into ownership of his aunt's pub, a welcome change from the Cocaine#Crack_cocainecrack scene he has been in, and decides that he will focus all his energy into making the bar successful and classier. Nikki is attending university while also performing moderate prostitution at a massage parlour (handjobs only). Rab introduces Nikki to Terry and his underground/homemade porn operation: the scene interests Nikki, and Nikki interests Terry. Spud is regularly attending group sessions for help in kicking his heroin habit but his relationship with his wife, Alison, is strained; Spud contemplates suicide paired with life insurance as a means of ensuring a brighter future for his wife and his son, Andy. While working at his bar, Sick Boy meets up with Terry and they agree that the upstairs of the bar would make a suitable venue for shooting some scenes. Meanwhile in Amsterdam, Renton is living luxuriously as the co-owner of a nightclub. On this particular night, the DJ is from his hometown of Leith and the two nod in recognition as Mark leaves the club. Back at Sick Boy's pub, he and his new associates begin the ambitious planning of making a professional, legitimate film. Nikki enthusiastically signs onto the project, but gets sick before being able to perform and is shuttled home. The first section concludes with "OOTSIDE", a chapter noting the release into society of one Francis Begbie.
Section 2: Porno - While in prison Begbie had been periodically receiving packagess of gay pornography sent anonymously (by Sick Boy) and places finding the culprit on his agenda along with reintegrating into his old criminal scene. While accompanying his old friend Larry on a debt collection errand he meets Kate, a woman currently bruised from an instance of domestic violence, and decides to take her out. At his pub, Sick Boy and Spud are in the course of winding each other up in front of Alison; the discussion turns to Renton ripping them off and Spud reveals that he wasn't ripped off, since he had eventually received his share in full, much to Sick Boy's displeasure. Then when Sick Boy points out that he has amounted to nothing, Spud unvails his recent ambition: to write his own book on the history of Leith. Needless to say, Sick Boy is not impressed and the couple depart. As Sick Boy is reflecting on Alison's deteriorating loveliness "''He'' comes in". Sick Boy offers Begbie a beer and the two converse, while Sick Boy simultaneously considers the duplicitous trait of opportunity and threat accompanying Begbie's release. Soon after, Terry and others enter the bar and begin discussing their upcoming trip to Amsterdam as a bachelor celebration for Rab, among them is Carl, a DJ who just recently returned from a visit to "the Dam". Initially, Sick Boy decides not to accompany them, but quickly changes his mind once Carl innocently mentions he worked in a club called Luxury, owned by an old friend of his, Renton.
Section 3: Exhibition -
Characters - Simon "Sick Boy" Williamson - Marred by a string of failed business ventures, decides to make a porn film. A heavy cocaine user. Still bitter about being ripped off by Renton in the previous novel. In the years since ''Trainspotting'' he had a son with a woman who is now his ex-wife. He has also lost some of the charm and physical attractiveness he previously possessed.Mark "Rents" Renton - Kicked heroin and owns a successful nightclub in Amsterdam. Agrees to finance Sick Boy's porn film in exchange for a share of the profits, despite a mutual lack of trust and amiability. Has gotten into shape and learned martial arts in anticipation and fear of an eventual meeting with Begbie.Nikki Fuller-Smith - 25-year old university student and film studies major who moonlights performing minor sexual favors at a sauna/massage parlour. Has body image problems (she occasionally vomits after meals) and is attracted to Sick Boy. She decides to help Sick Boy with his film by starring in it.Daniel "Spud" Murphy - Still on drugs but trying to kick them. The only one compensated for his role in the drug deal at the end of ''Trainspotting'' and holds no ill will against Renton as a result. Married with a son, Andy, but is plagued by marital problems. Francis "Franco" Begbie - Spent three years in prison for manslaughter. The crime was actually a more punishable case of murder but he managed to stab himself and plant false evidence to make it seem like manslaughter. Harbors a lot of resentment towards Renton for ripping him off in the last novel and blames him for the murder he commited. Still as violent and psychopathic as ever, now even more paranoid due to heavy cocaine use.Lauren - Nikki's best friend and roommate, a feminist, who tries to dissuade Nikki from being in a porn film."Juice" Terry - Amateur porn star that Sick Boy employs to be in his film. A main character in Glue_(book)Glue.Rab - Friend of Nikki and Laurne who introduces them to the underground porn scene. Engaged with a child on the way.Dianne - Another roommate of Nikki's.
