ISBN
9780140131680
Karim Amir lives with his English mother and Indian father in the routine comfort of suburban London, enduring his teenage years with good humor, always on the lookout for adventure--and sexual possibilities. Life gets more interesting, however, when his father becomes the Buddha of Suburbia, beguiling a circle of would-be mystics. And when the Buddha falls in love with one of his disciples, the beautiful and brazen Eva, Karim is introduced to a world of renegade theater directors, punk rock stars, fancy parties, and all the sex a young man could desire. A love story for at least two generations, a high-spirited comedy of sexual manners and social turmoil, The Buddha of Suburbia is one of the most enchanting, provocative, and original books to appear in years.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Hanif KureishiPublisher: Penguin BooksPublished: 05/01/1991ISBN: 9780140131680Pages: 288Weight: 0.45lbsSize: 7.82h x 5.14w x 0.56dReview Citations: Publishers Weekly 03/22/1991
