Hanif Kureishi's first novel, is a tour de force of comic invention, a bizarre, often hilarious, and totally original picture of the life of a young Pakistani growing up in 1970s Britain.
Karim lives with his Mum and Dad in a suburb of south London and dreams of making his escape to the bright lights of the big city. But his father is no ordinary Dad, he is 'the buddha of suburbia', a strange and compelling figure whose powers of meditation hold a circle of would-be mystics spellbound with the fascinations of the East.
Among his disciples is the glamorous and ambitious Eva, and when 'the buddha of suburbia' runs off with her to a crumbling flat in Barons Court, Karim's life becomes changed in ways that even he had never dreamed of . . .

評分看到最後耐心全失,雖然在倫敦郊區長大少數族裔雙性戀男的視角可以很有意思,書裏也確實寫瞭一些關於被邊緣化和自我邊緣化的發人深省橋段,但還是有點自戀也很囉嗦。這本是為瞭marketing the margins這門課的論文讀的,雖然作者都說自己不想把自己的少數族裔身份當賣座標簽,但我刻薄一點說如果不是因為這個標簽這本書也不會有很好評價吧,結果我還要在論文裏誇它。
