Hanif Kureishi is one of Britain’s leading writers with work ranging from My Beautiful Launderette and The Buddha of Suburbia through plays and political writing to, most recently, Venus. Something to Tell You is the coming of age story of Jamal, a successful psychoanalyst haunted by his first love and a brutal act of violence from which he can never escape, and the dramas that develop 30 years later. Energetic, funny and tender, Kureishi has, once again, given us a story that reflects on our times and our lives and the search for meaning amid the beautiful chaos of contemporary life. This is an extract of his conversation with Rodge Glass about Something to Tell You.
