Chapters: The Buddha of Suburbia, Gabriel's Gift, Intimacy. Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Buddha of Suburbia (1990), written by Hanif Kureishi, won the Whitbread Award for the best first novel. It has been translated into 20 languages and was also made into a four-part drama series by the BBC in 1993, with a soundtrack by David Bowie. Hanif Kureishi's two novels The Buddha of Suburbia and The Black Album are about initiation, (black, Asian) British youth, pop culture, the condition of England, and London. Due to the orality in The Buddha, the historical events, and the many dialogues full of colloquialism, the reader gets the impression of realism. The novel is highly episodic; juxtaposition and collage are the techniques that Kureishi uses. The Buddha of Suburbia is said to be very autobiographical. It is about Karim, a mixed-race teenager, who is desperate to escape suburban South London and make new experiences in London in the 1970s. Gladly he takes the unlikely opportunity when a life in the theatre announces itself. When there is nothing left for him to do in London anymore, he stays in New York for ten months. Returned to London, he takes on the offer of a part in a TV soap opera and the book leaves its reader on the verge of Thatcherism. The suburbs are "a leaving place" from which Kureishi's characters must move away. To Karim, Londoneven though it is geographically not far away from his homeseems like a completely different world. Therefore his expectations of the city are great. In The Buddha the move (in)to the city (and later on through the city) seems to be like an odyssey, or even a pilgrimage. On the first page Karim introduces himself as follows: "My name is Karim Amir, and I am an Englishman born and ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2342511 ... Read more

Rencontre inattendue de Duras et Kureishi, cetravail revisite le métissage et le sacre seulcapable de réhabiliter la différence. Ebranlé dansle premier chapitre lorsque j'analyse le lien entremétissage et entre-deux, le jeu de miroir entre lesdeux concepts s'impose ensuite en maître. Ladisjonction pour fer de lance, je rompt en effetrapidement avec la notion d'entre-deux et soulignele caractère paradoxal d'une coupure qui crée dulien et par là même du sens. Ceci établi, jeresserre les liens entre les deux notions et étudiecomment elles brouillent les frontières. Noté autravers des didascalies et de la mise en voix de lamarginalité, ce floutage prend une dimensionparticulière avec le statut accordé à la norme.Décentrée, elle est un élément constitutif de lamarginalité et autorise à la penser en terme demétissage. Indissociables, les deux concepts le sontencore moins dans les deux derniers chapitres àl'occasion desquels je propose une lecture obliquedu métiisage par le biais de la sexualité et del'instant. Le lien entre métissage et différencedémontré, je conclus à une stratégie d'écriturevisant à déstabiliser le lecteur occidental. ... Read more

Product Description
The idea and image of Englishness has changed a lot within the last decades. As Yasmin Alibhai-Brown has memorably observed, modern Britain is \more reflected in multiracial families curry and the fiction of Zadie Smith than the Royal family fish and chips and Shakespeare?\".This book analyses the works of two mixed-race English writers: Hanif Kureishi and Zadie Smith. Hanif Kurishi\'s novel The Buddha of Suburbia was published in 1990 Zadie Smith\'s debut novel White Teeth a decade later in 2000. Both authors deal with questions of identity racism and cultural hybridity amongst second- and third-generation immigrants living in England. The aim of this book is to show how the images of Englishness and the attitude towards hybridity have changed between 1990 and 2000.Whereas Kureishi\'s novel focuses primarily on racism Smith portrays millennial London as a city where hybridity ? either by birth or by experience ? is an integral part of everyday life.
