Episode 240: Irvine Welsh!

In this week’s episode, I talk to fiction writer Irvine Welsh about his latest novel, A Decent Ride, Edinburgh as a character, the influence of climate and populace on characterization, and the way to balance outrageous plot twists with earnestness, too.

TDO Irvine Welsh — Here I am with Irvine Welsh back in 2012.

I also share him reading from A Decent Ride, along with Aleksander Hemon reading from The Making of Zombie Wars.
