Hanif Kureishi

Crónica del fin del amor y el comienzo del odio, la novela de Kureishi es una consistente, inteligente reflexión sobre los desencantos de la madurez. Jay es un escritor y guionista cinematográfico de cuarenta y pocos años. Tiene todo lo que se puede desear a su edad: una carrera exitosa ha sido nominado al Oscar por uno de sus guiones, una mujer ambiciosa e inteligente que trabaja en la industria editorial, dos hijos pequeños a los que quiere, una hermosa casa donde cada dia, mientras Susan marcha a su trabajo, el se queda a escribir. Pero despues de seis años de vida en comun, Jay ha decidido que aquello se acaba. Hoy es la ultima noche de una etapa ya concluida de su vida. Hace tiempo que viene pensandolo, y mañana se marchara de casa para siempre, aunque Susan todavia no lo sabe. Cuando ella se vaya al trabajo, Jay pondra unas pocas cosas en una maleta y sin que nadie lo vea se ira a vivir temporalmente a casa de Victor, un amigo de su misma edad que ya lleva algun tiempo divorciado. Es una decision que le pone entre la espada y la pared; abandonar a sus hijos le resulta insoportable, pero quedarse significa resignarse a la infelicidad cotidiana, a una rutinaria vida de la que pasion y placer parecen haberse ausentado definitivamente.¿Por que un hombre deja de amar a una mujer? Cronica del fin del amor y el comienzo del odio, la novela de Kureishi es una consistente, inteligente reflexion sobre los desencantos de la madurez, las casi insalvables dificultades de la vida en pareja, las mezquindades, las negociaciones, las claudicaciones que nos impone la vida.

Hate skews reality even more than love. In the story of a Pakistani woman who has begun a new life in Paris, an essay about the writing of Kureishi's acclaimed film Le Week-End, and an account of Kafka's relationship with his father, readers will find Kureishi also exploring the topics that he continues to make new, and make his own: growing up and growing old; betrayal and loyalty; imagination and repression; marriage and fatherhood. The collection ends with a bravura piece of very personal reportage about the conman who stole Kureishi's life savings - a man who provoked both admiration and disgust, obsession and revulsion, love and hate.

One night, when I am old, sick, right out of semen, and don''t need things to get any worse, I hear the noises growing louder. I am sure they are making love in Zenab''s bedroom which is next to mine.Waldo, a feted filmmaker, is confined by old age and ill health to his London apartment. Frail and frustrated, he is cared for by his lovely younger wife, Zee. But when he suspects that Zee is beginning an affair with Eddie, ''more than an acquaintance and less than a friend for over thirty years,'' Waldo is pressed to action: determined to expose the couple, he sets himself first to prove his suspicions correct - and then to enact his revenge.Written with characteristic black humour and with an acute eye for detail, Kureishi''s eagerly awaited novella will have his readers dazzled once again by a brilliant mind at work.

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? The ensuing struggle for dominance raises issues of love and desire, loyalty and betrayal, and the frailties of age versus the recklessness of youth. 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.
