Love in a Blue Time

Witty and wryly revealing tales of a generation -- from the liberating, irreverence of the 1970s to the dilemmas and disillusionments of the 1990s -- by the acclaimed author of The Buddha of Suburbia and The Black Album.In a stunning new collection of stories, Hanif Kureishi brilliantly captures the passion and folly of the human comedy. A Pakistani girl's visit to London foments a revolution in her conservative home; a father, suspicious of his son's rejection of his adolescent possessions, makes an unsettling discovery about where the younger generation is headed; and men and women, once carefree, careless, and usually stoned, grapple with responsibility, fidelity, and other complications of adult life in middle-class London. "(The Buddha of Suburbia) brims with observations on music, theater, religion, drugs, and sex.... And its trenchant views on racial injustice and class antagonism impart outrage as they divert and entertain". -- Chicago Tribune "In The Black Album, Hanif Kureishi dishes it out ... to all those politicians, teachers and religious leaders, puritans of the left and right, who take themselves and their ideas too seriously". -- The Boston Globe Books
