Isi artikel

This article explores the ambiguities, ironies and ethical dilemmas of using real people in fiction and the relation between memoir and fiction. After looking at how this debate has surfaced as a theme in Hanif Kureishi’s fictional works, the author examines his memoir, My ear at his heart: reading my father, and concludes that Kureishi’s memoir provides an important perspective on his earlier work and constitutes a valuable addition to the literature of family life, identity and migration.
