Event overview
JOHN HARVEY: A LIFE IN BOOKS
John Harvey has been a professional writer for 40 years. Beginning with pulp fiction - biker books and westerns by the dozen - he has somehow progressed to the heady heights of honorary doctorates from the universities of Hertfordshire and Nottingham and the Crime Writers’ Association Diamond Dagger for Sustained Excellence. On the way he has written classic serials for television, adapted A S Byatt and Graham Greene for radio, and, for 20 years, run Slow Dancer Press, publishing the work of Sharon Olds, Simon Armitage and many others. His own New & Selected Poems was published last year, as was what he intends to be his last crime novel (after 25 years of the jazz-loving Charlie Resnick series). He is currently working on his first ever play for the theatre.
