Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"The conflict between assimilation and ethnic pride animates this vigorous picaresque by the Pakistani-born English screenwriter...and author....The novel's loose construction leads it to a predictably open-ended conclusion, but that's seems perfectly appropriate for a coming-of-age tale whose unformed hero can't decide from one moment to the next whether he's to become a dutiful son and brother, a great novelist, or the happily exhausted boytoy of a splendidly voracious woman. Furthermore, Kureishi's ever-so-slightly aslant diction and syntax provide dozens of gratifying little surprises, as do his vivid, off-the-wall metaphors....An agreeable mess, but then so is the protagonist--an endearingly distracted pursuer of the Ultimate Good who likes just as well the taste and feel of the here and now."
Hanif Kureishi, 08/21-28/1995
Review:"[Kureishi] writes marvelously quirky dialogue laced with unexpected images and word choices....'The Black Album' is worth reading for its wit, narrative momentum, and verbal virtuosity."
Kirkus, 07/15/1995

Book Description: London Faber& Faber, 2000. Kartoniert/Broschiert. Book Condition: Neu. 179 mm x 108 mm x 21 mm. - Shahid, Sohn eines pakistanischen Immigranten und Reisebüroinhabers, kommt aus der Provinz in die Großstadt London. Dort gestaltet sich sein Leben recht unauffällig, bis er ein Verhältnis mit Deedee, einer Dozentin für moderne Literatur, beginnt. Deedee ist unkonventionell, beschäftigt sich mit Pop-Ikonen wie Madonna und Prince, sammelt ihre Erkenntnisse auf Parties und in Clubs und hat auch gegen ein bißchen Drogenkonsum nichts einzuwenden. Shahids Weltbild gerät einigermaßen in Unordnung, insbesondere als er auch noch Kontakt zu einer Gruppe von Fundamentalisten bekommt und sich erstmals mit seiner Rolle als Muslim auseinandersetzt. 276 pp. Englisch.
