Intimacy

Kureishi is, simply, a wonderful writer, and Intimacy is a work of dark beauty.

‘It is by far the most astute and painful dissection of male sexual restlessness . . . The dialogue is shattering and there’s a blunt refusal to compromise . . . Telling the truth is always a precarious business, but Kureishi does it with seriousness, tenderness and upsetting aplomb.’

‘Kureishi has a rare and precious gift for character.’
