Listen "Hanif Kureishi’s THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA Part Two: Go West, Young Man"
Episode Synopsis
For part two of our adventure with Hanif Kureishi’s 1990 masterpiece THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA we leave South London behind us and head for more exotic climes – viz, West Kensington and Hammersmith in the west of the city. We find the flat where Karim, his father the Buddha, and Eva move into a flat above Thin Lizzy’s tour manager, just round the corner from where Karim sees a certain punk band with a red-haired singer in 1976. Following Karim’s career in experimental theatre we take ourself to Riverside Studios, haunt of Daleks and challenging dramatists. We find the autobiographical isn’t far from Kureishi’s novel, and we discuss 1990, the year of the book’s publication and the fall of Thatcher. Hosted on Acast.
