About this Event
We’re very excited to welcome Jasper Fforde to Waterstones Piccadilly as we celebrate the publication of Dark Reading Matter, the final entry in the Thursday Next series. Author of The Eyre Affair and The Constant Rabbit, Jasper delivers a typically singular dystopia, rich in wit and his own delightfully singular vision. Dark Reading Matter finds our renowned Special Operative in literary detection, once more battling with a familiar foe as the Goliath Corporation seeks to use the 'Dark Bookverse' of deleted novels and slush-pile manuscripts for profit.
Jasper Fforde spent twenty years in the film business before debuting on the New York Times bestseller list with The Eyre Affair in 2001. Since then he has written another fifteen novels, including the Number One Sunday Times bestseller One of our Thursdays is Missing, and the Last Dragonslayer series, adapted for television by Sky. Fforde lives and works in his adopted nation of Wales.
Please note: Book and ticket option includes a copy of Dark Reading Matter (RRP £20) available for collection on the night.
