The Last Word


Hanif Kureishi discusses his novel, The Last Word. Although I'm only about halfway through, I find some of prose and dialogue uninspired and dull, but fascinating for fictionalizing Patrick French's biography of V.S. Naipaul. As someone who appreciates Kureishi's screenplays more than his novels, it's refreshing to see him tackle postmodern biography. All fans of Naipaul should read this book.
