Jonathan Meades, known for his distinctive and sardonic presentation style, brings a different energy to Sunday-night documentaries. While the genre tends toward warmth, Meades is less present on screens today, a change reflecting a broader industry trend in diversity of hosts and styles. He remains a multifaceted creator, having authored a 1,000-page novel entitled Empty Wigs, set against a dark historical backdrop, addressing grim events from the past century. His work challenges conventional narrative and embraces darker themes, unveiling a stark exploration of human nature and societal failures.
Meades's latest work, Empty Wigs, is described as a hallucinatory ride through the sickness and labyrinthine squalor of the long 20th century, exploring dark themes.
In an industry leaning towards warmth and cheer, Meades stands apart, marking his own niche with sardonic narratives and a deep literary exploration of humanity's troubling past.
