#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Thirty years after the release of Trainspotting, Irvine Welsh joins John Birmingham to discuss his grungy modern classic. Polarising critics at the time of its release, this subversive masterwork of addiction and alienation has only grown in stature in the decades since its release. In this exclusive event, Welsh reflects on the novel’s cult legacy, and the state of transgressive fiction today.
