introduction & literary criticism

Cone, Annabelle. "The Politics of Intimacy in Hanif Kureishi's Films and Fiction," Literature/Film Quarterly, 2004. "Hanif Kureishi navigates freely between the written genre and the filmed genre, from screenplay to film or novel to television, finding his written works often translated to the big screen (My Beautiful Laundrette [Frears, 1985], Sammy and Rosie Get Laid [Frears, 1987], My Son the Fanatic [Prasad, 1997]) or turned into television adaptations (The Buddha of Suburbia [BBC, 1993])."
