Hanif Kureishi Answers the Proust Questionnaire

Taking advantage of the visit as part of the Kosmopolis continuous programme by Hanif Kureishi, author of books such as "The Buddha of Suburbia" and "Something to Tell You", and screenwriter for films such as "Sammy and Rosie Get Laid" and "My Beautiful Laundrette", we put to him the Proust Questionnaire in order to find out some aspects and interesting curiosities of his personality.

Always writes about the same topic over and over again. Race and religion.
Yawn.

You could say that about ANY writer- just replace “ race and religion” with any other two words .

What a bore.
