Irvine Welsh: The Blade Artist - NNF16

Warning: some explicit language Acclaimed Scottish writer Irvine Welsh discusses the legacy of his debut novel Trainspotting; a modern cult classic and major film described by The Times as 'the voice of punk, grown up, grown wiser and grown eloquent'. The Norfolk & Norwich Festival Adnams Spiegeltent is the perfect setting to revisit Welsh's darkly comic and ultraviolent cast of characters - including Francis Begbie, whose gruesome past comes back to haunt him in Welsh's latest novel, The Blade Artist. Part of the City of Literature programme at Norfolk & Norwich Festival 2016.
