The Rotters' Club is a zestful comedy of schoolchilderen in crisis and adults in trauma;a novel in which the personal and the political in tersect suddenly and without warning;a menoir of a long-lost warfare could be just as rife in a class warfare could be just as rife in a school common room as on a car manufacturer's shop floor.Witty,poignant and oddly romantic,it will do for the 1970s what Jonathan Coe's classic novel What a Carue Up!has already done for the 1980s.
Jonathan Coe was born in Birmingham in 1961.He has published five novels,The Accidental Woman,A Touch of Love,The Dwarves of Death,What a Carve Up!which won the 1995 John Llewellyn Rhys Prrize,and The House of Sleep,which won the Writers' Guild Best Fiction Award and the French Prix Medicis Etranger.They are all available in Penguin. |
