‘Tales from Hoffman’ at Crawley Library

Author Paul Hoffman will visit Crawley Library to discuss his new book and career, including his work with film star Jude Law and director Francis Ford Coppola.

Paul will be at the Library in Southgate Road (RH10 6HG), on Wednesday February 3 at 6pm, where he will read from his new fantasy fiction book for all ages, ‘The Left Hand of God’.

Brad Watson OBE, West Sussex County Council Cabinet Member for Communications, with responsibility for the Libraries, said: “As well as discussing his new book, Paul will answer questions on his career as a novelist and screen writer, the latter role bringing him to work with the world-famous director Francis Ford Coppola.

“Paul will also hold a short creative writing master class after the talk for those who want to develop their own writing and stories.”

Henry Smith, Leader of the County Council, said: “The Library is no longer just a place to borrow books, and hosts a wide range of events from live bands to children’s story times, with something for all the family. It has become a real asset to Crawley.”

Paul’s previous novels are ‘The Wisdom of Crocodiles’, which was adapted into a film starring Jude Law, and ‘The Golden Age of Censorship’.

His new novel tells of the action-packed adventures of 14-year-old Thomas Cale, a charming, unique character with a talent for assassination.

The event is in association with Waterstones bookstore, who will be selling copies of the new novel on the night.

The event is free, but tickets must be booked in advance. The minimum age for attendees on the evening is 11. There will be refreshments available.
