An Evening With Patrick Gale - Exeter Central Library
Thursday 28th June, 7.30pm
Patrick Gale’s fourteen novels include The Whole Day Through and the Richard and Judy bestseller, Notes From an Exhibition. He joins us at Exeter Central Library to talk about his latest novel, A Perfectly Good Man, which tells the story of a beleaguered priest in West Cornwall and his long suffering family.
Patrick was born on 31 January 1962 on the Isle of Wight. He has never had a grown-up job. For three years he lived at a succession of addresses, from a Notting Hill bedsit to a crumbling French chateau. While working on his first novels he eked out his slender income with odd jobs; as a typist, a singing waiter, a designer’s secretary, a ghost-writer for an encyclopedia of the musical and, increasingly, as a book reviewer. His first two novels, The Aerodynamics of Pork and Ease were published by Abacus on the same day in June 1986. The following year he moved to Camelford near the north coast of Cornwall and began a love affair with the county that has fed his work ever since.
Tickets cost £4 from Exeter Phoenix Box Office (01392 667080), Waterstones (Roman Gate) or on the door.
