Something to Tell You
About this book
Jamal Khan, a psychoanalyst in his fifties living in London, is haunted by memories of his teens: his first love, Ajita; the exhilaration of sex, drugs and politics; and a brutal act of violence which changed his life for ever. As he and his best friend Henry attempt to make the sometimes painful, sometimes comic transition to their divorced middle age, balancing the conflicts of desire and dignity, Jamal's teenage traumas make a shocking reappearance in his present life.
'A great comic writer and a peerless connoisseur of the human mystery.'
Independent
'A novel that describes with such elegant seriousness the fear of ageing, the inanition of pleasure, the survival of love, the longing to understand and be understood.'
Sunday Telegraph
'A vital, teeming, panoramic, immersive novel.'
Time Out
'There is more that is worth thinking about in
Something to Tell You than in the work of almost any other current British novelist.'
