Originally beginning his career as a pornography writer in the 1970's, Hanif Kureishi is now an acclaimed British playwright and novelist. His stories demonstrate remarkable prose and narrative grace, with TIME naming him one of the most brilliant British writers since 1945.
Hanif Kureishi's short stories reveal the depth of a novelist, but also the understanding of the human psyche of a playwright. Some notable works include "With Your Tongue Down My Throat" centering around Nina, a delinquent teenager estranged from her mother, and "The Penis" an exploration of the sexual deviance of humanity.
Hanif Kureishi's collection has been critically disputed. Some admire his fearless exploration of topics, while others dislike the subject matter and his prose. However, he undoubtedly remains one of the most notable British writers to this day and age.
