THE TRADING GAME, A review by Carlo Kureishi and Hanif Kureishi The first time I came across Gary Stevenson was on a politics podcast two years ago. This cockney-voiced, artful dodger-like, ex-city trader’s scalding analysis of the present economic situation was bracing.…
FIRST LOVE The best day of my life so far was the day I left that awful school, where I felt oppressed and lonely, to say the least. I cycled home whooping with joy, something I’d never done before. I was ecstatic; I was free, the future had opened. A few months before, I was…

“On Boxing Day I walked through a door and that door opened onto a hell, which has become my new life”: author @Hanifkureishi briefly leaves hospital to tell @Channel4News how the love of his family and his @SubstackInc audience has given him enough hope to carry on. Watch at 7
Tonight, in his first TV interview since his devastating accident, author @Hanifkureishi briefly escapes from hospital to tell me on @Channel4News about life, death, writing and dreaming of returning home. Do tune in at 7. It’s tragic, comic and wonderfully human.
In 1985, Nike held a 24-hour shoe design contest. Nike was struggling. Their stock dropped 50%. They had to lay off people. Adidas, Converse, & Reebok were all selling more shoes. So in a panicked attempt to find creative talent, Nike held a shoe design contest. The winner was…

THE KUREISHI CHRONICLES: INT. WRITING TIPS. VARIOUS. hanifkureishi.substack.com/p/int-writing-…
YOU CAN’T GO HOME It’s not unpleasant here. The doctors, nurses and all the workers are kind. Almost all of them look you in the eye and at least smile. They know that they have to relate to each patient. They aren’t afraid of touching the most abhorrent, aged or broken body.
Writing tip, dialogue: In natural conversation, people speak at cross purposes, often asking the same question repeatedly. They might be repressed, saying one thing but meaning another.
