Joe Tucker in conversation at Waterstones Piccadilly

We’re excited to be joined by Joe Tucker at Piccadilly to celebrate paperback publication and Waterstones non-fiction book of the month, The Secret Painter. In this touching, funny and thoughtful investigation of the nature of expression, the ownership of art and the secret life of those nearest to us, Joe Tucker brings us into his uncle's world - and brings Eric Tucker's life's work into ours.

Joe Tucker originally trained as an animation director before becoming a television scriptwriter. With his scriptwriting partner, Lloyd Woolf, he has created and written the BBC shows Witless, Click & Collect and Black Ops. His first book, The Secret Painter, an intelligent and life-affirming memoir/biography telling the extraordinary story of his seemingly ordinary Uncle Eric, is published by Canongate.

Please note: Book and ticket option includes a copy of The Secret Painter (RRP £10.99) which will be available for collection at the event.
