Roger Lewis  Our greatest and funniest living biographer?

Roger Lewis has redefined the art of biography. He has written books about Laurence Olivier, Anthony Burgess, and Charles Hawtrey. His biography ‘The Life and Death of Peter Sellers’, was made into a hugely successful film starring Geoffrey Rush. His latest book ‘Erotic Vagrancy: Everything about Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor’ was described by Stephen Fry as ‘One of the best biographies I have ever read’. In 2023 both the Sunday Times and Mail on Sunday called it their ‘Book of the Year’. This is bound to be a funny, insightful and at times eye-opening interview.

Roger is currently working on a new book ‘Fog By Teatime: Approximately in the Vicinity of Victoria Wood.’

‘Lewis’ prose, so electrifying, so funny, so sharp, so unsolemn, always going in unexpected directions, and with all those hilarious asides. Erotic Vagrancy gave me a week of pure joy’ The Mail on Sunday.

You can e-mail Roger question in advance to [email protected] and he will be signing copies of all his books afterwards.
