Irvine Welsh鈥檚 first novel, Trainspotting, achieved cult status. Its depiction of the lives of a group of heroin addicts in Leith tapped into the zeitgeist of the 1990s and was turned into a hit film.

The author has now written a sequel, picking up where Trainspotting left off and catching up with the exploits of the gang. The writer speaks to Katie Razzall about class, the way music influences his writing and why he worries culture is dying.
