Men in Love There wasn’t an album they wouldn’t buy, or a drug they wouldn’t try. Then it spiralled out of control . . . They were left with nothing. Nothing but the eternal quest of all men: the search for love. Opening in the late 1980s as rave culture is born and moving into the 1990s, Men In Love reunites the Trainspotting crew for a riotous new journey. Renton, Spud, Sick Boy and Begbie leave heroin behind and seek joy, and the hope of redemption, on the dance floor. Each wants to feel alive in the closing years of Thatcher’s Britain, and they fill their days with sex and romance and trying to get ahead. Taking in Edinburgh, London, Amsterdam and Paris, the group charges towards an unexpected event: Sick Boy’s wedding day. But is falling in love the answer, or just another doomed quest?

He has written thirteen further novels, including the number one bestsellerDead Men’s Trousers, four books of shorter fiction and numerous plays and screenplays.Crime andThe Long Knives have been adapted into a television series starring Dougray Scott as Ray Lennox. 'Men in Love' follows on directly after the end of 'Trainspotting' and before 2002's 'Porno' Irvine Welsh currently lives between London, Edinburgh and Miami.

We Need Your Art Using her own experiences as a novelist and the inspiration she's shared as a creative coach, Amie guides you on why we need your art and how you can make it happen - starting with a two-week reset plan to help you kick-start your creative habit. This isn't about writing your great novel in a month or painting a masterpiece in a flurry of inspiration. Rather, this process is about practicing small, sustainable creative steps every day over time - five hundred words of writing each day, a pencil sketch every evening - so that you avoid burnout, produce consistent, reliable content on your own terms, and begin to see yourself as an artist. With frank and empowering conversations on the many issues creatives face, including impostor syndrome, perfectionism, procrastination, and the inner critic, as well as invitations to coronate yourself and celebrate your ambition, Amie provides the framework and encouragement you need to begin to take your art seriously. Each chapter also includes journal prompts that help you apply what you have learned to your new life. We Need Your Art is a revolutionary reprogramming of everything we have been taught and told about being a creative, removing the shame and fear we may feel at dubbing ourselves artists and inviting us to create proudly, with celebration. This book is a warm hug, a pep talk, the wise teacher you always wanted, the loving parent you needed, and the fire in your belly that you need to get roaring. Amie McNee Amie McNee is an author, speaker and creative coach. Amie studied medieval history at university, focussing specifically on sex culture, sex work and pornography. Alongside her historical fiction, Amie has written four much loved books all of which discuss the realities and magic of leading a creative life. Amie is known for speaking, teaching and coaching artists all over the world and helping them to achieve their creative dreams.

The stunning high magnification insect portraits by British photographer Levon Biss were first shown in the Microsculpture exhibition in this Museum in 2016. Since then, the show has toured to 44 cities in 22 countries around the world. All the specimens in Microsculpture are drawn from the Museum's entomology collections, selected to show the microscopic form of insects in striking large-format, high-resolution detail. In this new temporary exhibition we are able to show images made after the original 2016 display. New text explores how and why each specimen originally entered the Museum's collection, painting a picture of professional and amateur collectors, entomological traders, British colonial links, and changes in scientific practice.

We are delighted to welcome Jenn Ashworth back to the shop for the Manchester launch of her latest work, The Parallel Path. Jenn will be in conversation with Helen Mort Doors: 6.30pm, starts: 6.45pm Tickets are £4. Admission is free when purchasing a copy the book. About the book: Burnt out and longing for an escape, Jenn Ashworth emerged from lockdown with a compulsive need to walk - and to walk away. Armed with little more than the knowledge imparted by a two-day orienteering course and a set of maps, she embarked on the most epic of English walks: Wainwright's Coast to Coast. Guided not just by Wainwright's writing but also by daily letters from her friend Clive - facing an epic journey of his own - Jenn's pilgrimage soon becomes more than just walking: a chance to reconnect and excavate, to re-engage with the act of caring for others and for oneself. But the walk's tricky terrain is not the only thing standing in Jenn's way. As days go by, her balance begins to fail her and the act of putting one foot in front the other becomes a new exercise in caution. When a vicious heatwave forces her to pause her expedition and gives her an opportunity to investigate the new limitations of her body, Jenn is confronted with a life-altering diagnosis - and a new path of self-discovery. About the author: Jenn Ashworth was born in Preston and studied at Cambridge and Manchester. Her novels include A Kind of Intimacy, The Friday Gospels and Fell. She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2018. In 2019 she published Notes Made While Falling, a memoir told in a series of essays, followed by the novel is Ghosted: A Love Story which was Shortlisted for the Portico Prize in 2022. She is a Professor of Writing at Lancaster University. Tickets are £4.00. Admission is free when purchasing a copy of the book. If you cannot make the event but would like a dedicated copy of the book, please email events.manchester@blackwell.co.uk or call us on 0161 274 3331. Our event format is usually a 45 minute discussion between the author and interviewer, followed by a chance for audience members to ask questions. There will be the opportunity to get your book signed/dedicated after the event. Events are a brilliant opportunity to discover new books, meet authors and likeminded readers and learn something new. Support your local bookshop and help us keep the Manchester literary scene vibrant and exciting.

We are thrilled to welcome Elaine Castillo to the shop to discuss her novel, MODERATION, a piercing look at big tech, virtual worlds and human connection. Elaine will be in conversation with Susan Barker, author of Old Soul. Doors: 6.30pm, starts: 6.45pm Tickets are £4. Admission is free when purchasing a copy the book. About the book: Girlie, a thirty-something Filipinx-American, works a day job at a social-media moderation centre, flagging and removing the very worst that makes it on to the internet. She's good at it, too - dispassionate, unflinching, maybe because she learned by necessity to cauterise all her emotions when she was still a kid - so it's no surprise to anyone when the social-media company for which she works offers her a big pay rise and an office to start moderating its new venture: virtual-reality theme parks, stunning simulations of civilizations long-since dead. Despite the isolation that virtual reality requires from colleagues, friends, and family, the unbelievable perks of her new job mean she can solve a lot of her family’s problems with money and mobility. She doesn’t have to think about the childhood home they lost back in the Bay Area, or history at all—she can just pay any debts that come due. But when she meets William Cheung, Playground’s wry, reticent co-founder (now Chief Product Officer) and slowly unearths some of his secrets, and finds herself somehow falling in love, she’ll learn that history might be impossible to moderate and the future utterly impossible to control. Castillo is a literary firecracker... Reading her is like pressing your finger on a bruise just to feel the thrill. If you liked Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and/or The Circle by Dave Eggers, you'll like this. - Pandora Sykes About the author: Elaine Castillo, named one of “30 of the Planet’s Most Exciting Young People” by the Financial Times, was born and raised in the Bay Area. Her debut novel, America Is Not the Heart, was a finalist for numerous prizes including the Elle Big Book Award, the Center for Fiction Prize, and the Aspen Words Literary Prize and was named a best book of 2018 by NPR, Real Simple, Lit Hub, The Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, The New York Post, Kirkus Reviews, and the New York Public Library. If you cannot make the event but would like a dedicated copy of the book, please email events.manchester@blackwell.co.uk or call us on 0161 274 3331.

On 25 July at 7.30pm in The Community Works, we’ll celebrate the publication of Still, the second full poetry collection by Alan Buckley. Still has its origins in the third lockdown of January 2021, when Alan began writing short, tightly structured poems during – and prompted by – his daily walk from East Oxford’s Marsh Park to the Lye Valley nature reserve. The apparently narrow focus of these poems belies their scope and ambition, as Still repeatedly shows the reader that “nothing is too mundane / to be transformed.” There’ll also be guest readings from OPL regulars Carl Tomlinson and Zoe Olivia Brown, and the evening will be hosted by Sophia Blackwell, who played a big part in Oxford’s spoken word scene back in the noughties. Tickets are £5 each (£2 concessions). The building is accessible, but if you have any specific access needs, please drop us an email at oxfordpoetrylibrary@gmail.com beforehand. Doors will open at 7.00pm. Still has already been gathering praise ahead of its publication in July by Blue Diode Press, an independent poetry publisher based in Edinburgh: Still asks the reader to notice the ordinary moments that often contain profound connection – human to human, human to the natural world, and that human observing the natural world interacting with itself… I found myself reaching for these poems again and again as a reminder of how to see magic in the ordinary world that I might “otherwise have missed,” and how often it’s those small encounters that save us “when nothing else / will.” – Marjorie Lotfi Alan Buckley is one of those secret gems of UK poetry whose work can't help but grow and grow in stature. His latest book is a truly virtuoso performance – an entire collection written in an entirely new form. These ‘douzaines’ are crammed with incident and insight. They are vital, enthralling waymarkers on a path we can’t help but follow, through landscape, through time, towards ourselves. – John Glenday A little more about the readers: Sophia Blackwell is the author of five books of poetry, fiction and non-fiction, including The Fire-Eater’s Lover and The Other Woman, which was longlisted for the Polari Prize, from Burning Eye Books. Her most recent book, The Poetry Writers’ Handbook, was published by Bloomsbury in 2022. Carl Tomlinson lives on a smallholding in Oxfordshire. His poems have appeared in Orbis, South, Spelt, The High Window, The Alchemy Spoon and several anthologies. His debut pamphlet, Changing Places was published in 2021 by Fair Acre Press. Zoe Olivia Brown is a poet and biologist from The Bahamas, currently based in Oxford as she pursues her PhD. She writes poetry rooted in her personal experiences, exploring themes of identity, place, human connection, and the heart. Alan Buckley is the author of two pamphlets (Shiver and The Long Haul), and the full collections Touched (HappenStance 2020), and Still (Blue Diode Press 2025). His poems have been highly commended in the Forward and Bridport prizes. He was a founding editor of the award-winning pamphlet publisher ignitionpress, and has taught creative writing to young people with both First Story and Arvon. He lives in Oxford, where he also works as a psychotherapist. Information Source: Oxford Poetry Library | eventbrite

About the book Ancient magic and all-new heroes in a battle between the living and the dead - an epic story of chaos, myth and adventure for fans of Percy Jackson, from the author of The Boy to Beat the Gods. When her island home is overrun by evil spirits, Evie is saved only by the powerful gemstone her parents entrusted to her. Her best friend Arthur is not so lucky – caught in the magical crossfire, he finds himself in the body of a cat. On a mission to return him to his body and defeat the ghouls, Evie and Arthur team up with Cai, a trainee shaman, who helps them discover the truth. The terrifying Blackheart Man is plotting to steal the island's four magical gemstones and use their power to destroy the barrier between the worlds of the living and the dead. It will take all of Evie's magic, Cai's bravery and Arthur's talent for thievery to stop him. Attendees are encouraged to dress in colours representing their magic strand: Blue (Enchanters), Red (Diviners), Green (Healers), Purple (Spirit Wakers). Find out your strand of magic from SPIRIT WARRIORS with this short quiz.
