Jonathan Coe (; born 19 August 1961) is an English novelist and writer.
His work has an underlying preoccupation with political issues, although this serious engagement is often expressed comically in the form of satire.
For example, What a Carve Up! reworks the plot of an old 1960s spoof horror film of the same name.
It is set within the "carve up" of the UK's resources which some feel was carried out by Margaret Thatcher's Conservative governments of the 1980s.
