Rishi Sunak has confirmed to Alison Hammond on This Morning that amongst other low brow cultural tastes he is a fan of Jilly Cooper’s novels. Cooper writes in the ‘bonkbuster’genre. Sunak’s choice reflects a Culture Wars split in the Tory Party. What after all is wrong with the novels of Nadine Dorries? She is a leading member of the fan club of leading Tory bonkbuster Boris Johnson and so is well qualified to write in the area.
However perhaps Sunak has a point in his lowbrow Culture Wars. Jilly Cooper can write readable books in the context of the genre. Its not clear what Dorries books are actually about although AI could certainly produce better.
