Amazon.com description: Product Description: El buda de esta novela es un respetable pakistani de clase y edad medias, casado con una inglesa, que un buen dia decide brindar a las amas de casa y a sus maridos de los suburbios la racion de trascendencia y extasis mistico a que todos creian tener derecho en los anos setenta. El hijo adolescente, Karim, tolera con juvenil cinismo los desvarios de sus mayores. Acaso no esta el siempre a la busqueda de diversion, sexo y respuestas a los mas diversos interrogantes de la vida? Pero todo se saldra muy pronto de su cauce y Karim vera las puertas abiertas para lanzarse a la vida verdadera en ese caldero magico de feminismo, promiscuidad sexual, teatro, drogas y rock and roll que era el Londres multirracial y fascinante de los setenta, durante el fin de la era hippy y los albores del punk. / My name is Karim Amir and Im an Englishman, born and bred, almost. The adolescent son of a Pakistani father and an English mother tolerates with juvenile cynicism the nonsense of his elders. He is on a constant search for fun, sex and the answers to the most diverse questions of life. Everything is about to change, and the doors will be open for Karim to start living real life in the magic cauldron of feminism, sexual promiscuity, theatre, drugs and rock and roll that was the fascinating and multiracial London of the 1970s, during the end of the era of the hippies and the beginning of punk.
