25 Mar / The Body by Hanif Kureishi [in AsianWeek]
The latest novel from the screenwriter of the Oscar-nominated My Beautiful Launderette, about an older famous writer who is given the chance to trade his weathered body for something much younger and healthier… but youth can only come at an excruciating cost. Part social commentary, part mystery, part second-time-around bildungsroman, The Body is a quick, thought-provoking read.
