Reseña: Mamoon is an eminent Indian-born writer who has made a career in England - but now in his early 70s his reputation is fading sales have dried up and his new wife has expensive taste. Harry a young writer is commissioned to write a biography to revitalise both Mamoons career and his bank balance. Harry greatly admires Mamoons work and wants to uncover the truth of the artists life. Harrys publisher seeks a more naked truth a salacious tale of sex and scandal that will generate headlines. Meanwhile Mamoon himself is mining a different vein of truth altogether. Harry and Mamoon find themselves in a battle of wills but which of them will have the last word? The ensuing struggle for dominance raises issues of love and desire loyalty and betrayal and the frailties of age versus the recklessness of youth. Hanif Kureishi has created a tale brimming with youthful exuberance as hilarious as it is touching where words have the power to forge a world.
