What the book says...
The winner of the Whitbread Best First Novel 1990, this is the story of Karim Amir, "an Englishman born and bred - almost", who lives with his English mother and Indian father in the South London suburbs. It is written by the author of My Beautiful Launderette and Sammy and Rosie Get Laid.
What the critics say...
"One of the best comic novels of growing up, and one of the sharpest satires on race relations in this country that I've ever read" Independent on Sunday; "This is exactly the novel one hoped Hanif Kureishi would write: utterly irreverent and wildly improper, but also genuinely touching and truthful. And very funny indeed" Salman Rushdie
