The series tackles everything from sexuality, racism, and class warfare all in the midst of 1970s England. Then I remembered another Kureishi work that needed more awareness than Laundrette, his four-part television serial The Buddha of Suburbia based on his debut novel of the same name. It’s certainly an important work, garnering critical acclaim for all parties involved and it vaulted Daniel Day-Lewis into the spotlight, so you should absolutely watch it. I was going to write about 1996’s My Beautiful Laundrette, written by Kureishi and directed by Stephen Frears. He’s a novelist, playwright, and screenwriter from England who has won numerous awards for his work. For my final column for Pride month, I wanted to spotlight the work of Hanif Kureishi.
