Q&A Sides: Irvine Welsh In Conversation
+‘A new book by Irvine Welsh is always an event . . . No living author is as entertaining to read’ - GQ
Best-selling author Irvine Welsh comes to Future Yard for an in-conversation with Chris Hawkin’s, celebrating his latest book ‘Can Nothing Save Us?’. A literary thriller that mines into the hedonism and paranoia of Las Vegas, as a drug-fuelled club promoter drags his wealthy family into a nightmare of suspicious neighbours, charismatic cult leaders and more. Welsh is best known for his first novel, Trainspotting, which sold over a million copies and was adapted into an era-defining film.
