Trying to catch up with UK life in the new age. I guess I did. Jonathan Coe revealed his identity: elite academic with only a patronizing understanding of his “inferiorsâ€!
I’ve had mixed responses to Jonathan Coe novels over the years. I loved The Rotters’ Club and What a Carve Up!, I thought The Closed Circle (follow up to The Rotters’ Club) and House of Sleep were okay, and I’ve started one or two others that I couldn’t get through at all.Middle England picks up the story of the protagonists of The Rotters’ Club in 2010 and follows their stories up to and after the Brexit referendum. It doesn’t have a conventional narrative arc, it’s more a series of vignettes showing how Benjamin, Doug and co react to current events and to changes in their personal lives. It’s a bit like a hearing a series of anecdotes about old friends, moderately entertaining if you know them (though I’m not sure you’d be interested if you don’t).While What a Carve Up! took apart Tory rule with savagery and humour and heart, I found this examination of Brexit terribly condescending. If you’ve been following politics at all in recent years, I don’t think you’ll learn or experience anything new. If you’re not interested in politics, why would you read it at all?The political points made in the novel, such as they are, are so crass and obvious that they make phone-ins seem erudite. Benjamin’s father and pretty much everyone of their generation is a cross between Victor Meldrew and Katie Hopkins, while it seems the true pain of Brexit for the protagonists is that they have to listen to dreadful people’s views over dinner.I know that people actually do say the things that you think are only clichés (who hasn’t sat through an awkward family Christmas or a wedding trying to ward off comments about how ‘the neighbourhood has gone downhill since they moved in’, or ‘my best friend’s cousin’s brother is getting a fortune in disability and he plays golf three times a week’) but in a novel don’t we want something a bit more challenging? Something that tries to understand the lives and thoughts of people who disagree with us? Something to make us consider the bigger forces that led us to this point?If Coe is on the side of progressives, why does he make all the characters so unsympathetic and out of touch? Sophie, Benjamin’s niece, doesn’t think racism is a thing in one chapter, then in the next thinks an Asian woman is ‘brave’ because she runs a class for speeding drivers(?!). Sophie’s beginning a career in higher education but instead of struggling to pay the rent on precarious short-term contracts, she drifts airily between teaching in Birmingham, research at the British Library and lucrative private lecture gigs. The people who are really suffering are at the periphery of the story. Doug’s privileged daughter, who invites herself to a riot on a kind of poverty safari, is at least self-aware.I don’t think you can call it satire if it doesn’t make you laugh, or give you some insight, or motivate you to change. This just made me sad.*I received a copy of Middle England from the publisher via Netgalley.
This has been reviewed in the main media extensively. And Coe has many regular readers. What can a posting here add?It is easy to read. Coe fashions great set pieces and can be very funny. The story is set out plainly, the characters have depth without complications. He covers the period, 2010 to 2018 well, and gets the details correct.It is the third of a series and for those familiar with the first two pleasure can be found in seeing how lives change with circumstance and age. The effect of the latter is at least as important as the former. Many of the main characters are coming to the close of their parts if not in the circumstances they desired. Love is still possible, if in the case of Benjamin Trotter difficult and highly amusing.It has been trailed as a Brexit novel. Some will feel that the cast is mainly middle-class – but as most of the cast come from the earlier novels, it could not be otherwise. Most are hostile to Brexit but again that fits with their characters already established.For this reader the dramatic centre of the novel is the opening night of 2012 watched by all the characters on television. He captures so well the generous and genuine patriotism of the London Olympics. How did that turn so sour, inward-looking and in truth vicious four years later? It is hard not to agree with Coe and identify maleficent forces at work. Orwell would have made more of this, of course, and more potently and pointedly. Coe's satire is much more muted.The novel has a soft ending. People look to the future. A further instalment is promised. One hopes our better selves will have triumphed when it is finally written.The name of one character was auctioned off. You can cheat to find out, but it might be more intriguing to discover it through the novel.
I have read, and loved, all of Coe's previous novels and Middle England is no exception. However, I almost didn't read it because I am so depressed by the Brexit news everyday I just couldn't face a 'Brexit novel'! I am so glad I did though.Middle England forms a trilogy with previous books The Rotter's Club and Closed Circle. And what a trilogy it is! Middle England brings us back in touch with the same characters twenty years on, as they reach middle age. I did feel that the Brexit element was a little heavy-handed in parts of this novel (I know, I know, it's a Brexit novel but even so...) but as usual his characters were sharply drawn, sometimes cartoonish but only in a way that reflects the real-life political buffoons that have been inflicted on us, and his depictions of the ups and downs of long-term friendships and relationships had real pathos at times.Coe's writing is a pure joy to read.
