Since then, he published the novel “The Buddha of Suburbia” to great acclaim and continues to write extensively, both for the screen and works of fiction. Ahead of his first reading at the festival, I asked him about his work, why he enjoys the short story form and if he had previously visited Prague. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/kureishi_hanif.jpg?timestamp=1591207802 Hanif Kureishi – the famous British author on Prague, Islam and multiracial societies in Europe https://english.radio.cz/hanif-kureishi-famous-british-author-prague-islam-and-multiracial-societies-8555029 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
