The Terry Lawson series collects Irvine Welsh’s interconnected Edinburgh fiction featuring Terry “Juice” Lawson and related characters. Glue (2001) is the centerpiece, following four friends from childhood in the 1970s through adulthood. Terry Lawson is one of the four, a serial womanizer with a good heart underneath his reckless behavior.
Other books in the series include Marabou Stork Nightmares (1995), Filth (1998), and The Sex Lives of Siamese Twins (2014). These novels share Welsh’s Edinburgh setting and his interest in how violence, addiction, and poverty shape working-class lives. The connections between books are loose, with characters drifting in and out of each other’s stories across decades.
