Jonathan Coe: podcast appearances and interviews

Jonathan Coe is an English novelist and writer born on 19 August 1961. His work often explores political themes, which he addresses through a combination of satire and humor. One of his notable works, What a Carve Up! published in 1994, reimagines the plot of a 1960s spoof horror film of the same name. The novel uses this framework to critique the redistribution of the United Kingdom's resources during the 1980s under Margaret Thatcher's Conservative governments. Coe's writing is characterized by its engagement with political issues, frequently conveyed through comedic and satirical elements that blend entertainment with social commentary.
