Irvine Welsh

Irvine Welsh’s seminal novel Trainspotting defined the drug scene for a generation. In his latest book he turns his raw and uncompromising style to the obsessions of our time: how we look and where we live.

Hear him talk about the dark and subversive tale, in which an aggressive, foulmouthed personal trainer and an obsessive, manipulative client play out one of the most bizarre, sado-machochistic folies à deux in contemporary fiction.
