THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA

First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Publisher's original black cloth with white titles to the spine, in the Peter Blake illustrated dustwrapper. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents with the usual light toning to the poor quality paperstock, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly creased dustwrapper, which is free from fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£12.99 net to the front flap).

Signed by Hanif Kureishi in black ink on the title page. The author's debut novel. Winner of the 1990 Whitbread Award and the basis for the 1993, Roger Michell directed four part BBC drama, starring Naveen Andrews in the lead role of Karim Amir, and with a theme song composed and performed by David Bowie.
