This could be, awkward...

Thanks for this fascinating AMA, I've been marking down books you've mentioned through-out. I'd like to ask if you've read any of Irvine Welsh? His works always felt extremely visceral and the language is steeped in reality (he is Scottish) at the expense of the readers comprehension, down to the local accents used and unconventional formatting.

As a secondary question do you feel this type of writing alienates or immerses a reader deeper into the world the writer is laying out even if certain language quirks are initially misread?
