Kureishi citing Ballard: “As Civilised life, you know, is based on a huge number of illusions in which we all collaborate willingly. The trouble is we forget after a while that they are illusions and we are deeply shocked when reality is torn down around us.”. More: open.substack.com/pub/hanifkur...

🚨🚨 So my posting on the French Human Rights league quitting X and encouraging others to do the same went viral.
Excellent.
Today, is as you all know the inauguration of one of the biggest a-holes in the world which will use X for the cause of his dumb BS.
So, do me all a favour, leave X.

I wrote about Hanif Kureishi and his extraordinary memoir for the New Statesman www.newstatesman.com/culture/book...
Hanif Kureishi’s interrupted life
In 2022 an accident left the novelist paralysed. His blackly comic memoir, Shattered, is a devastating portrait of an imprisoned mind.
