Dreaming and scheming - Hanif Kureishi

This volume collects the very best of the non-fiction writings by Hanif Kureishi over a 15 year period. These include political essays, diaries of film-making collaborations, essays about his father, analyses of both the craft and the job of writing - and above all, explorations of how the life of the mind expresses itself in creative endeavours. Kureishi's energies and insights make this collection essential for his admirers, and indeed for anyone who aspires to being a writer or is interested in the act of making fiction.
