The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim
''The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim'' is the ninth novel by British author Jonathan Coe, first published in the UK on 27 May 2010. It has a picaresque plot, told by the title character in the first person as he journeys first from Australia to his home in Watford, England and then on a promotional race for a toothbrush manufacturer to a remote chemist in the Shetland Islands. The story includes narratives written by other characters that greatly impact on Maxwell Sim, who is also preoccupied and influenced by the life and death of yachtsman Donald Crowhurst.
The book examines identity and isolation, exploring the paradox of loneliness experienced at a time when technology makes connections with other humans easier than ever.
In ''The Independent'' Robert Epstein commented "it takes real panache to write with such flowing comedic ease; his pacing throughout is superb and delivers realistic dialogue and, hence, believable characters".〔("The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim, by Jonathan Coe" The Independent 6 June 2010 ) Retrieved 22 July 2010〕 Writing in ''The Observer'' the critic Jeremy Paxman wrote that Coe had "noticed something interesting about modern Britain, and fashioned an engaging parable from it".〔("The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim by Jonathan Coe" 9 May 2010 ) Retrieved 22 July 2010〕
