Trainspotting

Choose the book that outraged the critics. Choose the literary phenomenon that defined a generation. Choose Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh. Introduced by critic John Sutherland, the savage picaresque of junkie Mark Renton returns to raise hell in celebration of the novel’s 30th anniversary with its first ever illustrated edition. With kaleidoscopic artwork by award-winning artist Nicole Rifkin, Folio invites you to revisit the book that nailed the hedonistic nineties, that exposed the poetry of a forgotten underclass and inspired the classic 1996 movie. Fearless, anarchic, honest, Trainspotting is a British cultural landmark and remains one of the greatest cult reads of all time.
