Kureishi's fourth novel. A fifteen-year-old North London schoolboy has to come to terms with a new life, after his washed-up rock musician father has been chucked out of the house by his mother. A portrait of the seemingly perpetual adolescence of the sixties generation as seen through the pitying eyes of its offspring. "A gently charming, comic novel, exhibiting the brilliant dialogue that makes Kureishi's movies so entertaining." –Todd Pruzan, The Washington Post
