Jonathan Coe FRSL is an English novelist and writer. His work has an underlying preoccupation with political issues, although this serious engagement is often expressed comically in the form of satire. For example, What a Carve Up! reworks the plot of an old 1960s spoof horror film of the same name.

Jonathan Coe recommends
Fervour (2024)
Toby Lloyd
"Intriguing, propulsive and profoundly disturbing, this is a fearless look into the dark heart of family politics from a naturally gifted storyteller."
Second Best (2023)
David Foenkinos
"It's about time British readers discovered the wit and originality of David Foenkinos, and this exquisitely bittersweet comedy of life's missed opportunities is the perfect place to start."
Voting Day (2022)
(Fairlight Moderns)
Clare O'Dea
"An uplifting story of hope and solidarity, as well as a vivid, fascinating snapshot of a recent (almost unbelievably recent!) moment in Swiss history. I devoured it in one sitting."
