The Last Word - Hanif Kureishi
The new novel from Hanif Kureishi: an outrageous, clever and very funny story of sex, lies, art and what defines a life.Mamoon is an eminent Indian-born writer who has made a career in England - but now, in his early seventies, his reputation is fading, his book sales have dried up and his new wife has expensive tastes.Harry, a young writer, is commissioned to write a biography to revitalise Mamoon's career and bank balance. Harry's publisher seeks a more naked truth, a salacious tale of sex and scandal that will generate headlines. Harry greatly admires Mamoon's work and wants to uncover the truth of the artist's life.
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.
