Special Guest: Irvine Welsh

Few writers have captured both the voice and the imagination of a generation in the way that Irvine Welsh has.

Armed with a remarkable ability to tell the stories of society’s underbelly, he has delivered a succession of astounding books. From the iconic 1989 novel Trainspotting through groundbreaking works such as Filth, Porno and Dead Men’s Trousers he has earned a stellar reputation across the globe.

Is he a crime writer? He might not think so, but his credentials have been firmly established with his deliciously dark crime series featuring DI Ray Lennox. In the latest, the Sunday Times bestseller Resolution, Lennox has left Edinburgh for Brighton but soon learns that he can’t run from his past.

Irvine will be interviewed by bestselling author Abir Mukherjee.
