Jonathan Coe recommends

Going Gently (2000) David Nobbs "An extraordinarily rich and satisfying novel... I laughed constantly."	Mr Mee (2000) Andrew Crumey "In short - it's fabulous."	Perfect Tense (2001) Michael Bracewell "Utterly unique... Michael Bracewell shows himself to be nothing less than the poet laureate of late capitalism."
