Jasper Fforde (2018 Event)
Jasper Fforde has spent years on the bestseller lists with his Thursday Next books. Now he’s written a standalone novel, Early Riser, creating a world where all humans hibernate except for the Winter Consuls. Fforde’s ability to write alternative worlds with the telling detail of a J K Rowling or Terry Pratchett, coupled with his unabashed silliness and cleverly imagined characters, have won him a well-deserved following. This event was recorded live at the 2018 Edinburgh International Book Festival
