Something to Tell You - Hanif Kureishi

 
Description: ISBN 0571209777 / Author: Hanif Kureishi / Genre: Fiction / Jamal is a successful psychoanalyst haunted by his first love and a brutal act of violence from which he can never escape. Looking back to his coming of age in the 1970s forms a vivid backdrop to the drama that ... more
Something to Tell You - Hanif Kureishi ... develops thirty years later, as he and his friends face an encroaching middle age with the traumas of their youth still unresolved. Like The Buddha of Suburbia, Something to Tell You is full-to-bursting with energy, at times comic, at times painfully tender. With unfailing deftness of touch Kureishi has created a memorable cast of recognisable individuals, all of whom wrestle with their own limits as human beings, haunted by the past until they find it within themselves to forgive.

Midnidght All Day - Hanif Kureishi

Premium Review King Kureishi rides again (145 words)

Rating:

Kureishi has once again delivered the goods with this latest collection of short stories. Midnight all day is ten stories, each laced with subtle humour, and an incredible amount of detail, leaving the reader to believe that this can only be largely autobiographical. As ever, this is really accessible writing. It's simple yet ...

The Buddha of Suburbia - Hanif Kureishi

Crowned Review The Life and Times of a Mixed Race Bisexual Punk (1269 words)
by sandrabarber - written on 17/11/02 (Very useful, 818 readings)
Rating:

there will be parallels with the experiences of people who also share that situation. Karim, and thus Kureishi, speak on behalf of no one but themselves. For this reason, and for the fact that this is a wonderfully crafted, bitingly funny, invitingly warm novel, TBOS has a universal appeal that accounts for the book's mainstream success. If I could, I would make The Buddha of Suburbia a prescribed text for everyone who enjoys a bloody good read. Published by Faber and Faber 1990 ISBN: 0571142745 Amazon: Paperback £6.39 ...

Premium Review Orgies, brawls and hilarity.... (1069 words)

Rating:

with some people who haven’t read it, as it was made into a BBC drama series in 1993. More importantly it won the Whitbread Prize for Best Novel in 1990. Hanif Kureishi (HK from now on) is probably better known for his 2 excellent films, My Beautiful Launderette, and Sammy and Rosie Get Laid. Well, I think so anyway, because I’ve seen them, and I didn’t see The Buddha of Suburbia. Subjective stuff, I know, but what the heck, it’s Thursday, an anniversary of sorts for me as coincidentally it’s the day I was born on. This is HKs’ debut novel, and it is sublime, well worthy of winning prizes, which is why I mustered up the energy to ...
