“Stout figure in his ill-fitting, slightly too-tight suit, with the usual alert, wary, ironic glint in his eye and the over-cheeeful greeting which seemed to be something between an expression of undying friendship and a declaration of war”. Outstanding description of Boris Johnson by Jonathan Coe in his last book, #Bournville

Read #Bournville by #JonathanCoe. Redeemed a bit by a strong finish, when the writing and subject matter clearly gets personal, but a really disappointing clunky book. Too reliant on lazy nostalgia; I expected spangles and Choppers to appear at one stage. Some odd writing. Rather than develop characters naturally he just bungs in their internal monologue on one occasion. #bookstodon #BookToot #keefsreads2023
