Description
Hanif Kureishi's memoir is a remarkable exploration of family history and the birth of a writer. When the author discovers an abandoned manuscript of his father's, his understanding of the family's past is transformed. This journey takes him through his father's privileged childhood, the trauma of partition, and his adult life in the suburbs of London, where he worked in the Pakistan embassy and wrote prose in secret.
