Crime Fiction at the Oxford Literary Festival

As part of the St Hilda's College day at this year's Oxford Literary Festival actress and writer Charlie Covell whom many will remember from being in the first series of Marcella will be talking about her adaptation of Charlie S Forman's graphic comic series The End of the F***ing World for Channel 4. 


In The End of the F***ing World James is 17 and is pretty sure he is a psychopath.   Alyssa who is also 17, is the cool and moody new girl at the school they both attend. James and Alyssa make a connection and James is soon persuaded by her to embark on a road trip in search of her real father. But not everything works to plan.
