Jonathan Coe's new novel is set in the 1970s against a distant backdrop of strikes, terrorist attacks and growing racial tension. A group of young friends inherit the editorship of their school magazine and begin to put their own distinctive spin on to events in the wider world. A zestful comedy of personal and social upheaval, The Rotters' Club captures a fateful moment in British politics - the collapse of 'Old Labour' - and imagines its impact on the topsy-turvy world of the bemused teenager: a world in which a lost pair of swimming trunks can be just as devastating as an IRA bomb.… (mehr)
Most definitely not what I was expecting, but fabulously told story with amazingly detailed characters, and a history lesson of life in the UK in the 70’s. I can’t wait to read the second book. I already ordered it. ( )
2022 book #40. Excellent story about growing up in England in the mid-1970s. First of a trilogy following the group at roughly 20-year intervals (which I read in reverse order). Well written, employing a few different styles (3rd person, 1st person, diary entries, etc). ( )

I [=Benjamin] think about this story, sometimes. It's one of the things I try to make sense of. I thought of it as we drove away from Skagen to return our hire car to the airport at Alborg the next morning. I thought of it today as I walked home from the bus stop to my parents' house. But slowly, irresistibly, I can feel it beginning to dissolve into the hazy falsehood of memory. That is why I have written it down, although in doing so I know that all I have achieved is to falsify it differently, more artfully. (Penguin Books 2002 p. 128)
