Jonathan Meades

    Jonathan Meades es un aclamado ensayista conocido por sus agudas exploraciones de la comida, la cultura y el paisaje. Su escritura, a menudo comparada con gigantes literarios como Sterne y Dickens, se caracteriza por un estilo sofisticado y un análisis profundo. A través de sus ensayos y películas, Meades profundiza en las complejidades de la identidad inglesa y el estado del mundo, manteniendo una voz única y a menudo provocadora. Su contribución literaria radica en su capacidad para entrelazar la reflexión personal con comentarios culturales más amplios, ofreciendo a los lectores una experiencia rica y que invita a la reflexión.

      "Thirty years ago Jonathan Meades published a hefty collection of reportorial journalism, essays, criticism, squibs, fictions called Peter Knows What Dick Likes. It quickly acquired cult status. The critic James Woods was moved to write: 'When journalism is like this, journalism and literature become one.' This new collection is every bit as rich and every bit as catholic. Hence its title: Pedro and Ricky Come Again. Thirty years older, so no longer boys, but no wiser, and still impervious to good taste and good manners. From the inexcusability of nationalism and the ubiquitous abuse of the word 'iconic', to John Lennon's shopping lists and the wine they call 'Black Tower', the work assembled here demonstrates Meades's unparalleled range and erudition, with pieces on cities, artists, sex, England, concrete, politics and much, much more."
