Colin Dexter has 1 past event. (show) Colin Dexter Colin Dexter, In Conversation. "Author of the Inspector Morse novels Colin Dexter is like the unforgettable character he created - an avid lover of the music of Wagner, a wizard at cryptic crosswords, a classical scholar and a real ale enthusiast. Most of all he is a man with an encyclopaedic knowledge and all-consuming love of the finest English literature and poetry. Accompanied by the actor Gabriel Woolf, Dexter visits the fesetival to share his passion, with readings from his own work and from a selection of his favourites including Hardy, Dickens, Bronte, Housman and Dylan Thomas."

He took a job with the Oxford Delegacy of Local Examinations in Summertown, and moved there with his wife Dorothy in 1966. Before writing fiction, he produced general studies textbooks. A wet summer vacation in North Wales with two complaining children and nothing to do gave him the impetus to write his first detective story. It took a while for the Morse novels to gain popularity, which made Dexter keep his day job for 22 years until he retired. He's won the coveted gold dagger from the Crime Writers Association for best crime novel of the year more than once, and several runners-up silver daggers.  | |
