Save the Date: Hanif Kureishi
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Hanif Kureishi, who wrote the Oscar-nominated movie “My Beautiful Laundrette” and the novel “The Buddha of Suburbia,” will be speaking at Emory University the evening of Monday, September 8.
Kureishi, who was born in London to a Pakistani father and English mother, explores issues of race, immigration, nationality and sexuality in his work, which includes short stories and essays as well as novels and films. His latest novel, “Something to Tell You,” is being published by Scribner this month.
Why Emory? Well, one reason is that the university’s writer-in-residence Salman Rushdie is a friend of Kureishi, according to the provost’s office at Emory.
Kureishi’s public appearance will be 7 p.m. at the Michael C. Carlos Museum. The details aren’t posted on the museum’s website yet, but this site mentions Kureishi’s visit to Emory and gives a phone number to call for more information.

WOW! I have no clue who Hanif Kureishi is but the mysterious way he has his hand draped over half his face is a sell for me. Most people couldn’t pull this off and would look like complete douchebags but not Hanif! 7:00 PM @ the Michael C. Carlos Museum! I’ll be there with bells on!
