The characters of The Rotters' Club-Jonathan Coe's beloved novel of adolescent life in the 1970s-have bartered their innocence for the vengeance of middle age in this incisive portrait of Cool Britannia at the millennium.

Jonathan Coe’s awards include the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, the Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger, the Prix Médicis Etranger, and, for The Rotters’ Club, the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Writing. He lives in London with his wife and their two daughters.
