But is it just scurrilous punk, junk, transgressional entertainment that got lucky? Bell reveals how this hard-to-read and on-location book tells truths that need to be told. And how it’s everyone’s business. Bell is the ideal guide: author of and living in Leith since 1980, he brings street-level wisdom, erudite research, and a good dash of humour to the Trainspotting phenomenon.~ScotlandsFest is Luath Press' annual festival during the Edinburgh fringe, celebrating the vibrant literary, cultural and political landscape of Scotland.
