A review by sourmilkpages
The Black Album by Hanif Kureishi, Bernhard Robben

2.0

2.5/5 — The Black Album is an okay novel, but very of it’s time. Very much part of that mid-90s Trainspottingesque lifestyle. Whilst it was interesting that Kureishi matched that with Islamic Fundamentalism, I do think that, particularly since the turn of the millennium and post-9/11, there are many more contemporary novels that deal with Religious Fundamentalism in a much more nuanced fashion and in a less male-heavy hedonistic fashion.
