In 'The Heart of England,' Jonathan Coe offers a lucid and hilarious X-ray of contemporary British society, marked by Brexit and internal tensions. Through a choral novel, Coe revisits characters from his previous works to address themes such as the differences between London and the central region of the country, the irresponsibility of the political class, and the rise of racism and resentment. With humor and acidity, the author presents us with a divided England corroded by fear of the future.
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.
