It allowed Kureishi to expand upon the issues raised by the film:  race, class, sexuality - issues that were provoked by his childhood  and family situation. In the ensuing decades, he has developed  these initial ideas, especially as the issue of Islam's relation to the  West has become one of the burning issues of the time.\n\nKureishi  shows how flexible a form the essay can be - as intellectual as Sontag  or Adam Phillips,  as informal and casual as Max Beerbohm, as cool and  minimalist as Joan Didion, or as provocative as Norman Mailer. As with his fictional work, these essays display Kureishi's ability to capture the temper of the times.","brand":"Wordsworth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43140557734066,"sku":"9780571362455","price":370.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9191\/8002\/products\/340976_60ddb47a4ee759.45518259_9780571362455.jpg?v=1687988520"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.wordsworth.co.za\/collections\/anthologies-essays-letters-miscellaneous.oembed","provider":"Wordsworth Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
