The world-renowned British author Jonathan Coe has spoken to FRANCE 24 about the joys of writing, and his love of mixing a variety of genres in his work. He also warned people to be wary of the self-deprecating British form of humour, something often seen in his books. His latest novel « The Proof of My Innocence » centres around an intriguing plot to sell off the British Health Service, the NHS, amid the chaotically short premiership of Liz Truss. It contains a lot of wry humour and also centres around a murder investigation. Coe, who is in Paris for a book signing, spoke to us in Perspective.
