Richard Osman is contorting his 6ft 7in body into what resembles a vertical velvet coffin. It looks uncomfortable, but he is gamely following orders. Photoshoots aren’t his favorite part of the job.

Posing for photos, international tours, sore hands from marathon-level signings: all this is part and parcel of being one of Britain’s bestselling novelists.
