Hanif Kureishi

According to many critics, Hanif Kureishi's novel "I Have Something to Tell You" has returned to the same intensity he had in his first novel "The Buddha of the Suburbs".

The multitude of characters, especially the secondary ones who always gave a specific liveliness to his novels - Indians, Pakistanis and Englishmen - again represent his main personnel. His writing is strongly based on a solid Western education, and thematically it is not focused on collisions but on coexistence in the tangle of civilizational connections. This will be most accurately illustrated by one of Kureishi's/Jamal's sentences: "Pakists have always been considered socially maladjusted, poorly dressed, insanely religious and oppressed, and then it became clear how much minorities themselves - or any other outsiders - can become, with the right marketing, fashionable and fashionable when they climb the social hierarchy." The problems of counterculture and intellectual leftism in the seventies, Thatcherism in the eighties, the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, the ruthlessness of liberalism and the splendor and misery of Blair's project "cool Britain" Kureishi regularly illustrates with brilliant and unexpected combinations.
