Irvine Welsh, one of Scotland’s most iconic literary voices, returns to the notorious world of Trainspotting with his electrifying new novel Men in Love.
This blazing, riotous sequel follows Renton, Spud, Sick Boy, and Begbie on a quest not for heroin, but for love, set against the birth of rave culture in the late ’80s and the wild pulse of the ’90s. From Edinburgh to London, Amsterdam to Paris, Welsh’s characters navigate sex, music, romance, and the elusive promise of redemption.
The event will be hosted by critic and broadcaster Alex Clark, offering a unique opportunity to hear Welsh reflect on the era, his characters, and the cultural legacy of his groundbreaking debut.
