| 7 | Irvine Welsh (born September 27, 1958) is a Scottish author famous for his mind-screwy, profane, darkly comic and profound novels, all centering on Scottish delinquents (or former Scottish delinquents) and their dysfunctional families, drug addictions and mental perversions. How fun! |

| 9 | Known for writing in his native Edinburgh Scots dialect, he generally ignores the traditional conventions of literary Scots, used for example by Creator/AllanRamsay, Creator/RobertFergusson, Creator/RobertBurns, Creator/RobertLouisStevenson, and Creator/JamesOrr. Instead, he transcribes dialects phonetically. |
