✍ Fiction, Humour, Scotland
Two of Scotland’s most renowned fiction writers unite on stage to discuss the themes and inspirations behind their latest novels with presenter and podcaster Sean MacDonald.
Irvine Welsh reunites the Trainspotting crew for a riotous new journey in Men in Love. Opening in the late 1980s as rave culture sweeps Edinburgh, Renton, Spud, Sick Boy, and Begbie leave heroin behind and seek joy and the hope of redemption on the dancefloor. But is falling in love the answer, or just another doomed quest?
In John Niven’s The Fathers (his first novel set in Scotland since The Amateurs), first-time father Dan meets Jada, a dad welcoming his fifth – no, sixth? – child into the world. Middle-class Dan and petty criminal Jada come from very different places: both called “Glasgow”. However, when a tragedy occurs, their worlds are brought closer than either could have imagined — close enough that it could mean destruction for them both.
