Jonathan Meades Knihy
Jonathan Meades je uznávaný esejista, ktorý si vydobyl meno vďaka prenikavému pohľadu na gastronómiu, kultúru a krajinu. Jeho písanie, často prirovnávané ku klasikom ako Sterne a Dickens, sa vyznačuje vycibreným štýlom a hlbokou analýzou. Prostredníctvom svojich esejí a dokumentov Meades skúma komplexnosť anglickej identity a postavenia vo svete, pričom si zachováva jedinečný, často provokatívny hlas. Jeho literárny prínos spočíva v schopnosti spájať osobné reflexie s širšími kultúrnymi komentármi, čím čitateľom ponúka bohatý a podnetný zážitok.

"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."
