YOUNG ADAM. A beat novel by Alexander Trocchi, originally published as an Olympia Press paperback with racier content, this being the more "literary" version that Trocchi was subsequently encouraged to write. Over time, both versions have been assessed as having literary merit. Basis for the superb 2003 film directed by Alexander MacKenzie and starring Ewan McGregor and Tilda Swinton.
