About

Scotland’s grittiest writer returns to launch Can Nothing Save Us? – a ferocious saga of moral freefall, set in a blisteringly hot Las Vegas.

Scotland’s grittiest writer returns to launch Can Nothing Save Us? – a ferocious saga of moral freefall, set in a blisteringly hot Las Vegas.

Irvine Welsh turns his unflinching gaze on a nation in crisis with this novel following three generations of a wealthy, divided family spiralling toward paranoia, drug-fuelled excess, and explosive reckoning.

Join the bard of bad behaviour – 30 years on from the Trainspotting movie – for an unfiltered chat about power, entitlement, and moral decay with Kevin Williamson.
