«Number 11» is Jonathan Coe's satirical novel, published by Penguin Books Ltd in paperback (368 pages, in English).
A novel about the threads connecting the public and the private in contemporary Britain: the legacy of war, the loss of innocence, and the duel between comedy and politics in the age of social media. Coe shows a city where some need cinemas in their basements and others, food banks on the next street, with mordant satire.
Originally published in English on April 7, 2016; this edition from Penguin Books Ltd has 368 pages.
For readers of literary fiction and British social satire, with an interest in politics and contemporary inequalities.
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.
