Description
Jonathan Coe is a brilliant storyteller and famous for his humour that he turns to satire to highlight topical societal themes. In his novel The Proof of My Innocence, the main focus is on right-wing think-tanks, Generation Z and a murder case. Christopher, a journalist, exposes a right-wing extremist political group from Cambridge that wants to manipulate the government. When his research leads to a murder in a country manor, the life of young Phyl is turned upside down. Coe narrates the rise of conservative elites since the 1980s, right-wing networks in the US and Great Britain, also he portrays just as convincingly young people of today and makes the reader curious about our modern world.
