Recenzii
Coe
can
make
you
smile,
sigh,
laugh;
he
has
abundant
sympathy
for
his
characters
Expansive and often very funny . . .Coe - a writer of uncommon decency - reminds us that the way out of this mess is through moderation, through compromise, through that age-old English ability to laugh at ourselves
A pertinent, entertaining study of a nation in crisis
His affectionately witty attitude to our human foibles is always uplifting . . . Superb
InMiddle England,Coe shows an understanding of this country that goes beyond what most cabinet ministers can muster. . . he subtly builds a picture that exposes the cracks in society . . . he is a master of satire but pokes fun subtly, without ever being cruel, biting or blatant . . .his light, funny writing makes you feel better
Tackling his characters' opposing points of view, he draws a portrait of a recognisable Britain baffled by its loss of industry and jobs, and of everyday people shocked by a rise of acceptable racism and xenophobia.It's also very, very funny
Millions of words have been and will be written on Brexit but few will get to the heart of why it is happening as incisively asMiddleEngland
This is a picture of England that comes from a place of compassionand understanding
Coe is as funny and tender as ever,restoring some humanity to thetumultuous societal backdrop
Middle Englandcombines top-class soap opera storytelling with melancholy insight into what it means to be English
Middle Englandtakes all that is memorable and moving about Coe's body of work and throws it at the present emergency
Sparkled with all the acuity of his best novels . . . Uproarious and always on-the-money
Very funny . . . Exceptionally good . . . Delightful
Brilliant
Middle Englandis a full-blooded state of the nation novel, and it brings us bang up-to-date
Coe is an extraordinarily deft plotter . . . he tackles big ambitious themes, in this case the effect of politics on people's lives, and political opinions on personal relations
The beauty of Jonathan Coe's new novel,Middle England, is the way it tracks the seemingly unconnected moments that brought Britain to itsknees- and with devastating delicacy, too
The great chronicler of Englishness
A copper bottomed masterpiece
Coe's comic critique of a divided country dazzles . . . properly laugh-out-loud funny. . . it is also incisive and brilliant about our divided country and the deep chasms revealed by the vote to leave.Do not miss
The first great Brexit novel
This book issublimely good. State of the (Brexit) nation novel to end them all, but alsofunny, tender, generous, so human and intelligent about age and love as well as politics
Jonathan Coe'sMiddle Englandisbrilliantly insightful on the times we are living in
Let me add to the chorus of praise for Jonathan Coe's new bookMiddle England. Easily my favourite of his sinceWhat a Carve Up!Which did for Thatcherism whatMiddle Englanddoes for Brexit
Anastute, enlightened and enlighteningjourney into the heart of our current national identity crisis.Both moving and funny. As we'd expect from Coe
From post-industrial Birmingham to the London riots and the current political gridlock, it takes in family, literature and love ina comedy for our times
