Coe's brilliantly funny look on 21st Century Britain - in the tradition of What a Carve Up! and The Rotters' Club. NO. 11 is the story for our times: moving from the distant rumble of the Iraq War to the austerity years of the Britain we know now. Surviving characters from his earlier novel What A Carve Up!, stalk five vividly imagined worlds, revealing a society becoming increasingly ill at ease with itself.
