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…

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.

As I've been living my life with its minor problems, like many of you I've been reading @Hanifkureishi's emotional, literary, body thought bombs. His latest is one of the best I think. Plus it has an Orson Welles image. hanifkureishi.substack.com/p/you-cant-go-…
If you’re interested in a writing exercise, here’s one my students particularly enjoy.
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.
Dear Readers, I was so enlivened by your responses to my previous thread in which I asked you to write me a story that I have decided to host a writing competition. It will be held on my Substack. open.substack.com/pub/hanifkurei…
