Further to earlier postings, this is what the book is called, and it's out in June. That's definite. It's published by Picador, and the hardback will be £20....

There are reviews of Jonathan Coe's imminent biography (4 June) in this weekend's Observer and Sunday Times, as well as a feature and extensive extract in...
Dear members, If anybody is planning on attending the talk by Jonathan Coe on the 17th June in London could they video the event ( with permission) and i will...
Dear all, If anybody is really going to video the event of Coe's talk, I would very much like a copy as well, since - as in Lawrence Windrush's case - ...

Below is a slightly edited extract from an e-mail sent to a friend, but I thought the group might like to see it and comment. I should add that, despite its...
Did anyone else hear the feature on the new Coe biography on Radio 3's "Night Waves" last night? I don't agree with Coe's claim that Johnson thought writers...
I totally agree with you. It is a fairly reductive and limited point of view (to put it harshly) which ignores the conceptual and aesthetic wealth of Johnson's...

There's a review of LAFE in today's Times (by odious middle-class shit Giles Coren) that beggars belief. From the opening salvo of "You're lying if you claim...

I see Johnson as several different characters, all of which he was aware of and played up at various times in his writings and his justifications of it. On the...
I have read all of Johnson's books. Does that make me a liar? Is there a new semantic paradox here? ... There's a review of LAFE in today's Times (by odious ...
I suppose Coren's "you're lying if..." claim is simply a handy prop with which he can wave away anyone who might care to take issue with his review. Having...

No sign of your review on Amazon yet, David. Any chance of posting it to the group so we can have a read? I was amazed that the Times actually printed Giles...
