Choose Life. Choose Leith. Trainspotting on Location - author talk with Tim Bell

  • Edinburgh Central Library - George Washington Browne Room George IV Bridge Edinburgh, Scotland, EH1 1EG United Kingdom (map)

Join us on Wednesday 3rd April 2024 in the George Washington Browne room at Central Library where we will be joined by author Tim Bell. Tim will be discussing his work Choose Life. Choose Leith. The book first arrived in 2018 and is now back with a second edition published this month. Copies will be available for purchase on the evening.

Please note: Tim will be reading some passages from Irvine Welsh's original novel Trainspotting during the talk so the audience should expect to hear some foul language. Please consider this before making a booking to attend. 

Some praise for Choose Life. Choose Leith

This hugely informative book...is a hard-hitting social history brimming with local knowledge.  
Alastair Mabbott, Sunday Herald Life Magazine

No other book is needed now. Choose Life, Choose Leith: Trainspotting on Location is the book that lets others know what locals knew when they first read [Trainspotting]… Irvine Welsh has found the Boswell for his Johnson.  
Gordon Munro, The Leither
