And when did you last see Blake Morrison?

Writer Blake Morrison, best known for the award-winning memoir, And When Did You Last See Your Father — it was adapted into a film starring Jim Broadbent and Colin Firth — will read at the West Cork Literary Festival, which begins on Sunday.

Morrison has unimpeachable credentials: articles in the Times Literary Supplement, Observer, Independent, Guardian, a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and professor of creative writing at Goldsmiths College in London.

He has written novels (including South of the River and The Last Weekend, adapted for television), plus poetry, literary criticism and libretti. His latest works include a collection of poems, A Discoverie of Witches, and a study of the James Bulger murder. A Renaissance man, Morrison is interested in every aspect of writing.
