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.
