Wednesday 24th October 14.00, room to be confirmed.
He will be talking about his new book “Mermaid of Curitiba.”
His volumes include Worming the Harpy, Romance With Capsicum, Nowhere Near Milkwood, Eyeliad, Rawhead & Bloody Bones and Stories from a lost Anthology.
Magical realism? His unique fantastical fictions have already achieved the level of cult-status. His latest work, The Percolated Stars, sees Batavus Droogstoppel navigating his way around a cosmos at the earth's core, a galaxy consisting of planets with names like: Cheeky, Boss Hog, Fluff and... Maesteg! Influenced by Borges, Calvino and Stanislaw Lem, Hughes's fiction is both intellectual and hilarious with plenty of jokes, puns and satirical side-swipes to keep the reader constantly amused.
