My Ear at His Heart offers remarkable insight into the birth of a writer, chronicling how Kureishiâs own literary calling emerged from the ashes of his fatherâs aspirations. And so begins a journey that takes Kureishi through his fatherâs privileged childhood by the sea in Bombay, through the turbulent birth of Pakistan and to his modest adult life in Englandâhis days spent as a civil servant, his nights writing prose, hopeful of one day receiving literary recognition.
"A beguiling and complex tale of fact, fiction and family tensions" (The Guardian), My Ear at His Heart was published to great acclaim in the United Kingdom in 2004 and went on to win the prestigious Prix France Culture Etranger. Now, this profound work from one of the most compelling artists of our time is at last available in a Scribner edition.
About: Described in a recent New York Times Magazine profile as a "postcolonial Philip Roth," Hanif Kureishi first captured the attention of audiences and critics in the 1980s with the award-winning novel The Buddha of Suburbia and the films My Beautiful Laundrette and Sammy and Rosie Get Laid.
