The Black Album. (Broschiert)
von Hanif Kureishi


 
It was "okay" but nothing like the "Buddha of Suburbia"
• • • •   (bewertet mit 4 von 5 Punkten)

The "Black Album" was "okay" but doesn't qualify for the "5 stars" which I gave "The Buddha of Suburbia". Hanif Kureishi's whimsical, topsy turby story of Shahid, a London-bred Pakistanian student at a London college, seeking some sort of altruistic bonding with his Pakistanian fundamentalists "bretheren", whilst simultaneously seeking a liberating selfish binding passion with his college teacher. Caught between two worlds which are on opposite sides of the pole, Shahid eventually flips the coin and decides to follow the path that "feels" right. Although Kureishi's characters are shallow and flippant, and the storyline is a bit thin, it still is a successful satire and critic of religious zealousness, and attacks the ridiculous blind fervor of fanatics (i.e, the aubergine - that was really hilarious).

All in all, the book was enjoyable and I would recommend it to all Hanif Kureishi fans.
