David Nicholls Talk at Kings Place

I’ve probably written a few too many posts about this man with premiere coverage of the movie version of his book One Day (as well as a review of it), a book review of The Understudy and now this! You probably gather by now that I’m a massive fan and I had to get these tickets once I saw it. It’s a talk with David Nicholls and he’s going to by questioned by John Mullan (book writer for the Guardian as well as writer and professor). What’s not to like? Just in case you’re about to leave the post, whilst the talk did have spoilers this post will not, so if you’re one of the few that haven’t read the genius creation One Day then you can read on but go and buy a copy now! Please note that I am not quoting him word for word because I can’t remember it exactly. They are extremely badly paraphrased by me! If you weren’t lucky enough to attend it has fortunately been recorded and released as a podcast to the world!

You must have heard about One Day by now. If you haven’t, I want to ask where you’ve been living for the past two years. It’s been a major success with a feature film directed by Lone Scherfig starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess based on the novel and the book alone has shifted countless copies.
