Description

A provocative exploration of identity and humanity, The Body is a thought-provoking novel by Hanif Kureishi. When an older man's brain is transplanted into a younger body, he embarks on a journey of hedonism, but soon finds himself regretting the choices he made and feeling guilt over his responsibilities. As sinister forces pursue him, he must confront the consequences of playing with the fundamental nature of self. With its fluent prose and socially observant insight, Kureishi presents a vivid tale that raises hard-hitting questions about our relationships with our minds, bodies, and time. This novel is a complex exploration of what it means to be human, and the choices we make in pursuit of youth and vitality.
