CHOOSE LIFE CHOOSE LEITH: A TRAINSPOTTERS GUIDE

Choose Life Choose Leith revisits and analyses Irvine Welsh’s cultural icon Trainspotting 25 years after its first publication, exploring the social history and the HIV and heroin issues of 1980s Leith. It looks at how Trainspotting affected drug policy, Leith and the Scottish Identity and acts as a reference book, a record of the times and a background to the history that led to the real-life situation and the publication of the book.
