It is therefore no longer as a member of the SI that our friend Alexander Trocchi has since developed an activity of which we fully approve of several aspects." He continued writing but published little. He opened a small book store near his Kensington home. He was known in Notting Hill as "Scots Alec". In the 1960s Trocchi lived at 4 Observatory Gardens, Kensington, London on the two top floors of a 19th-century terrace block comprising six storeys. He had two sons: Marc Alexander and Nicholas. The elder son, Marc died of cancer at age 19 in 1976, shortly after Alexander's American wife Lyn died of complications from hepatitis. He died of pneumonia in London on 15 April 1984. The final tragedy was the suicide of the younger son, Nicholas who, some years after his father's death, returned to the family's home in London and leapt from the top floor of the five-storey building to his death. When the terrace block was extensively refurbished into luxury apartments in the 1980s the number on Alexander Trocchi's house was removed. Interest in Trocchi and his role in the avant-garde movements of the mid-20th century began to rise soon after his death. "Edinburgh Review" published a "Trocchi Number" in 1985 and their parent house published the biography, "The Making of the Monster" by Andrew Murray Scott, who had known Trocchi for four years in London and who went on to compile the anthology, "Invisible Insurrection", in 1991, also for Polygon. These works were influential in bringing Trocchi back to public attention. Scott assisted the Estate in attempting to regain control of Trocchi's material and to license new editions in the UK and US and Far East, also collating and annotating all remaining manuscripts and documents in the Estate's possession. During the 1990s, various American and Scottish publishers (most notably Rebel Inc.) reissued his originally pseudonymous Olympia Press novels and a retrospective of his articles for "Merlin" and others, "A Life in Pieces" (1997), was issued in response to revived interest in his life and work by a younger generation. His early novel "Young Adam" was adapted into a film starring Ewan McGregor and Tilda Swinton in 2003 after several years of wrangling over finance. "Tainted Love" (2005) by Stewart Home contains a lengthy 'factional' meditation on Trocchi's post-literary career period in Notting Hill.
