I am always in awe of authors who can write about the dark side of life with humor, candour and loads of pithy. So I was delighted to stumble on Hanif Kureshi. For those who need a pop cultural reference, which is become so much the norm these days, Kureshi wrote My Beautiful Laundrette, as a play, and it went on to win an Oscar for best screenplay.
Nevertheless, the two books I read, Love in a Blue Time and The Black Album are set in the London of the 80s, a very delicious time for darkness of life.
