His movies \u003ci\u003eMy Beautiful Laundrette\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSammy and Rosie Get Laid\u003c\/i\u003e and his novel \u003ci\u003eThe Buddha of Suburbia\u003c\/i\u003e captivated audiences and inspired other artists. In \u003ci\u003eSomething to Tell You,\u003c\/i\u003e he travels back to those days of hedonism, activism and glorious creativity. And he explores the lives of that generation now, in a very different London. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Jamal is middle-aged, though reluctant to admit it. He has an ex-wife, a son he adores, a thriving career as a psychoanalyst and vast reserves of unsatisfied desire. \"Secrets are my currency,\" he says. \"I deal in them for a living.\" And he has some of his own. He is haunted by Ajita, his first love, whom he hasn't seen in decades, and by an act of violence he has never confessed. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With great empathy and agility, Kureishi has created an array of unforgettable characters -- a hilarious and eccentric theater director, a covey of charming and defiant outcasts and an ebullient sister who thrives on the fringe. All wrestle with their own limits as human beings; all are plagued by the past until they find it within themselves to forgive. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Comic, wise and unfailingly tender, \u003ci\u003eSomething to Tell You\u003c\/i\u003e is Kureishi's best work to date, brilliant and exhilarating.","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47138708160752,"sku":"9781416588184","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781416588184_p0.jpg?v=1763726928","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781416588184","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
