This provocative collection of short stories charts the growth of a generation from the liberating irreverence of the late 1970s to the dilemmas of responsibility and fidelity of the 1990s. The stories resonate with Hanif Kureishi's dead-on observations of human passion and folly, his brilliant depiction of seedy locales and magical characters, and his original, wicked sense of humor.

1989. Shahid hat seine bürgerliche Familie verlassen, um in London zu studieren. Dort schließt er sich einer Gruppe junger, scheinbar konservativer Muslime an, die sich jedoch als bücherverbrennende Fanatiker entpuppen. Gleichzeitig lässt er sich aber auch auf eine intellektuelle und sexuelle Beziehung mit seiner drogenabhängigen Professorin ein. Shahid ist unentschlossen und hin- und hergerissen, bis er Zeuge und schließlich selbst das Opfer der Gewalt fanatischer Muslime wird.
