- W2601288566 abstract "‘The Power of Scotland’, a lengthy article in the 14 April 2002 Scotland on Sunday, listing and briefly describing the one hundred most powerful Scots, suggests a national confidence hardly imaginable just a decade earlier. Amidst all the bankers, business people, government officials, newspaper editors, radio and television directors and other influential living Scots are four writers: Alasdair Gray (#83), Liz Lochhead (#56), Irvine Welsh (#42) and J. K. Rowling (#9). ‘Once the enfant terrible of Scottish fiction, Welsh exploded on the literary scene in 1993 with Trainspotting. He has now returned to his native city after a period in exile, and has arguably influenced Scottish literature — and the perception of it — more than anyone else in the past decade’. To say that Welsh lived ‘in exile’ when in fact he had simply spent much of the previous seven or so years elsewhere, including Amsterdam, London, Chicago and Dublin, is understandable. However, this perhaps unwitting attempt to mythify Welsh by linking him indirectly to the greatest literary self-exiles of the twentieth century, the Irish writers James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, is also unfortunate in that it seems less a sign of Scotland’s newfound power and self-confidence than a subtle reminder of lingering self-doubt. The linkage is indeed doubly unfortunate because the more grandiose claim, concerning Welsh’s influence, is entirely true. Welsh and his work constitute a cultural ‘phenomenon’ of considerable sociological as well as literary interest, one in which the mythified Welsh plays an important but nonetheless secondary role." @default.
