      Now a major film directed by Danny Boyle reuniting the cast of Trainspotting Years on from Trainspotting Sick Boy is back in Edinburgh after a long spell in London. Having failed spectacularly as a hustler, pimp, husband, father and businessman, Sick Boy taps into an opportunity which to him represents one last throw of the dice. However, to realise his ambitions within the Adult industries, Sick Boy must team up with old pal and fellow exile Mark Renton. Still scheming, still scamming, Sick Boy and Renton soon find out that they have unresolved issues to address concerning the unhinged Begbie, the troubled, drug-addled Spud, but, most of all, with each other. T2 Trainspotting was previously published as Porno.

      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.
