About this listen

 The hero of Hanif Kureishi's debut novel is a dreamy teenager, desperate to escape suburban South London and experience the forbidden fruits which the 1970s seem to offer. When the unlikely opportunity of a life in the theatre announces itself, Karim starts to win the sort of attention he has been craving, albeit with some rude and raucous results.©1990 Hanif Kureishi (P)2003 BBC Audiobooks Ltd Coming of Age Genre Fiction Literary Fiction
