«A Touch of Love» is Jonathan Coe's contemporary novel, published by Penguin in paperback (240 pages, in English).
Robin, a young man who once showed promise, lives shut in his room in Coventry with an unfinished thesis. There he writes short stories in four notebooks, each an oblique reflection of his situation. A comic mix-up in a public park lands him in serious trouble.
The novel was originally published in 1989; this edition from Penguin Books Ltd. appeared on August 31, 2000.
Aimed at readers of contemporary fiction, especially those who enjoy current British narrative.
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. It is set within the "carve up" of the UK's resources that was carried out by Margaret Thatcher's Conservative governments of the 1980s.
