Irvine Welsh

As you’ve never heard him before....Recorded in 2018, at the time of publication of Dead Men’s Trousers, Irvine Welsh tells Edi Stark there is a bit of Renton, Begbie, Sickboy and Spud in him and everyone and explains why he sees himself as a moral writer.
He talks about growing up in Edinburgh, support from teachers, the loving relationship between his parents and being ‘a beautiful mistake’ in their lives. He also reflects on his own attitude to love, friendship and family in this deeply personal interview.
