Pedro and Ricky Come Again: Selected Writing 1988-2020

Jonathan Meades is the widely acclaimed author of Pompey, Museum Without Walls (20k copies) and An Encyclopaedia of Myself - described as ‘a masterpiece’ by the Financial Times, and shortlisted for the 2014 Samuel Johnson Prize - among many others.

His numerous films for the BBC are legendary, covering a vast range of subjects from jargon to the architecture of Fascism.

This book assembles the best of Meades’s as yet uncollected writing from the past thirty years.

For fans of A. A. Gill (The Best Of, Lines in the Sand), Owen Hatherley (Trans-Europe Express, A Guide to the New Ruins of Great Britain), Christopher Hitchins (Arguably) and Martin Amis (The War Against Cliche, The Rub of Time).
