Wittily captures the 'grey' England of the late 1970s, with its preoccupation with class, the false liberalism, and the ever changing fads and fashions. Kureishi is the master of character development, which only adds to this novel. (  ) ForrestFamily | Sep 13, 2009 |  En sjov og fængslende bog om dens tid og dens ungdom. (  ) pernillekong | Sep 13, 2009 | Well I got through it at least. another male agnst novel with far too much testosterone slooshing about. A slight plot set it the seventies(?)., more than a bit dated. (  ) wendyrey | Sep 5, 2009 | I can't recall the last time any writing anywhere felt that unadorned. Most of the 'everyday city life'-leaning books I read until that one tended to turn into RENT somehow or another and it drove me up a wall, but - this one didn't. You follow Karim around, and if you can enjoy the company of a fictional character, then I definitely enjoyed his. Like, a lot. I want to go back and read it again because I kind of miss the guy. 1  booksofcolor | Jul 10, 2009 | Interesting book although the protag is involved with some really depressing people -- and the protag has his own problems. It's a very good insight into the middle to late 70's in England with the rise of Punk as well as the hippie commune types that were leftovers from the 60's. As a read, it's funny and shocking at the same time. ( ) Scaryguy | Mar 3, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
