Dopo dieci anni passati a Londra, ormai agli sgoccioli della sua giovinezza, Sick Boy decide di tornare a Edimburgo. Dopo aver clamorosamente fallito come truffatore, sfruttatore di prostitute, marito, padre e uomo d'affari, ecco affacciarsi quella che sembra essere, finalmente, la grande occasione, quella che gli cambierà la vita: l'industria dei film porno. Ma per gettarsi nell'impresa ha bisogno di compagni. E chi meglio di Renton, Spud e Begbie? Eccoli allora riuniti, i protagonisti di Trainspotting: Renton, il più mite; Begbie, se possibile ancora più psicopatico e sbandato; Spud, ancora e sempre stramaledettamente perso nella droga.

Popular since its original publication more than 35 years ago, Leonard Cohen's classic book of contemporary psalms is just as relevant and compelling as ever. Internationally celebrated for his writing and his music, Leonard Cohen is revered as one of the great writers, performers, and most consistently daring artists of our time. The poems in Book of Mercy brim with praise, despair, anger, doubt, and trust. Speaking from the heart of the modern world, yet in tones that resonate with an older devotional tradition, these verses give voice to our deepest, most powerful intuitions.

Autobiografický román - koláž - báseň. Vnitřní dilema, jež zažívá člověk, který se narodil jako muž, ačkoliv se cítí být ženou. Ústřední postava Jack Daluz (podoba tohoto hrdiny s kerouacovským Jackem Duluozem není náhodná) nás s sebou bere na cestu do bizarního světa undergroundových časopisů a kreslí přitom portréty lidí kolem nich. Autor, povoláním univerzitní profesor antropologie, kulturně-literárním zazemím i poetikou blízký básníkům Garymu Snyderovi a Allenu Ginsbergovi, rozebírá otázku osobní svobody z hlediska biologicko-genetických omezení.

'If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light, If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls.
