Jonathan Coe
English novelist · United Kingdom · On the map · Writers · Born 1961 · age 65
Jonathan Coe 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! (1994) reworks the plot of an old 1960s spoof horror film of the same name.
Jonathan Coe is read about 194 times a day, in 20 languages.
