THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA
THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA, by Hanif Kureishi
Chapter one
"My name is Karim Amir, and I am an Englishman born and bred, almost."
This is how one of my favourite books begins: another book a re-read every year (and more than once a year).
It's funny, witty, touching, troubling... it talks of my age and experiences, even if I am not born in England and I am not from Pakistani heritage.
Kureishi is a wonderful writer, he goes down to the core of things and feelings, without letting go.
Another of his books I read and read is "My Ear at His Heart", the story of his father.
