How did you find that interview? It didn't quite live up to the promise, I felt. Not quite sure why though... Maybe I was just left wondering what Kureishi had brought to the interview that anybody else couldn't have?

it was highlighted on Guardian's book page, I think. I think that one thing hanif did bring to the interview was to give a sense of the differences in their immigrant upbringings.
