The Closed Circle

De: Jonathan Coe

Narrado por: Jeff Rawle

Set against the backdrop of the Millennium celebrations and Britain's increasingly compromised role in America's war against terrorism, The Closed Circle lifts the lid on an era in which politics and presentation, ideology and the media, have become virtually indistinguishable. Darkly comic, hugely engaging, and compulsively readable, it is the much-anticipated follow-up to Jonathan Coe's best-selling novel The Rotters' Club and reintroduces us to the characters first encountered in that book. But whereas The Rotters' Club was a novel of innocence, The Closed Circle is its opposite: a novel of experience.©2004 Jonathan Coe (P)2004 Penguin Audio

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A compelling, dramatic, and often funny depiction of the way we live now, both savage and heartfelt at the same time." (Publishers Weekly)
"The Closed Circle is terrific....Coe creates an incisive portrait of Britain at the turn of the century, with the private shenanigans of these characters set against the turn of real events: Millennium Eve, the threatened closure of the Longbridge car factory, 11 September, war with Iraq, and even Nigella Lawson licking her fingers on TV." (Spectator)
