Description:
Is Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting a fair, honest portrait of the time and place, serious literature, or scurrilous punk, junk, transgressional entertainment that got lucky? Did the stage play and then the film normalise and glorify heroin? The answers are YES and NO. Tim Bell lived in Leith in the thick of the 1980s heroin scene. It collided with the new, dreaded HIV/AIDS. Bell’s authoritative analysis of the Trainspotting Phenomenon brings out key local and universal insights, adding depth and colour to the 1990s shooting star, still relevant today.
