This is shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize. The
brilliantly funny new novel from Hanif Kureishi Mamoon is an
eminent Indian-born writer who has made a career in England - but
now, in his early 70s, his reputation is fading, sales have dried
up, and his new wife has expensive taste. Harry, a young writer, is
commissioned to write a biography to revitalise both Mamoon's
career and his bank balance. Harry greatly admires Mamoon's work
and wants to uncover the truth of the artist's life. Harry's
publisher seeks a more naked truth, a salacious tale of sex and
scandal that will generate headlines. Meanwhile Mamoon himself is
mining a different vein of truth altogether. Harry and Mamoon find
themselves in a battle of wills, but which of them will have the
last word? Hanif Kureishi has created a tale brimming with youthful
exuberance, as hilarious as it is touching, where words have the
power to forge a world.
