Oxford Literary Festival on March 22, 2026

Patrick will be in conversation about Love Lane with Sophie Ratcliffe. Details of where and what time to follow. He’s delighted that on the same day he’ll also be interviewing the crazily talented graphic novelist, Joff Winterhart, the first novelist to be nominated for the late lamented Costa prizes. His latest, about academic obsession and the trepidations of dipping a toe into television popular history, is a corker. You’ll be able to book for both events through the festival’s website.
