Jonathan Coe

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie are joined by novelist Jonathan Coe, who talks about his eleventh book, Number 11.

Mark Radcliffe & Stuart Maconie's guest today is the novelist Jonathan Coe. His first detective thriller called The Castle of Mystery, was written at the age of eight (the first few pages of which appear in his 1995 novel What a Carve Up). He continued writing all through his schooldays, and at the age of fifteen sent his first full-length novel (a comedy entitled All The Way) to a publisher. A few years later, after re-reading this book, he felt so embarrassed by it that he burnt it on a bonfire in his parents' back garden. He's since written 2 biographies on film stars (James Stewart and Humphrey Bogart), plus novels such as The Rotters Club and The House of Sleep. Here's here to talk about his eleventh book. All this plus you could have the chance to chat to actual Mark and Stuart by being on The Chain and suggesting a record to link in with the next! Plus lots more! Well, Teatime Themetime, when you guess the link between 3 tunes and lots of splendid music to accompany you through the afternoon till Steve Lamacq o'clock.
