Scottish author Irvine Welsh has a new book. The controversial, acclaimed writer of “Trainspotting,” which became a cult film classic, joins Mitchell on this episode of “The Literary Life” podcast. From geopolitics, economics, education, culture and being a part-time Miami resident, Irvine shares his philosophical thoughts with Mitchell. And, of course, his latest book, “Dead Men’s Trousers,” the grand finale of “Trainspotting.” A very *interesting* episode. This conversation was recorded at Books & Books in Coral Gables, Florida.
