Description
From the global successes of My Beautiful Laundrette and The Buddha of Suburbia, through to late masterpieces such as The Nothing, Hanif Kureishi is one of Britain's most popular and versatile writers.
Drawing on Kureishi's unexplored personal archive, recently acquired by the British Library, each chapter in Ruvani Ranasinha's jaw-droppingly honest biography recounts a decade of the author's life, illuminating the work he produced in each period. This structure reflects the novelist and screenwriter's own preoccupation with self-reinvention and the fluidity of identity: 'Every decade you become someone else'. Kureishi has redefined British identity, exploring key issues such as Thatcherism, terrorism, race, class, and sexuality. Hanif Kureishi - Writing the self: A biography is a tour-de-force, exploring for the first time this provocative artist. Looking at his novels, including Intimacy and the Black Album, short stories, and screenplays - the Mother and Venus, and his collaborations with such figures as David Bowie, Roger Michell and Stephen Frears, Ranasinha analyses this sometime controversial figure with wit and empathy.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
