My Beautiful Laundrette and the Rainbow Sign by Hanif Kureishi

4.0

The Rainbow Sign was absolutely fantastic, a required read. However, while I adore My Beautiful Laundrette, I have to admit it that the concept is better than the execution. In the introduction, Kureishi mentions that he replaced a large amount of dialogue with stage directions "as films require action." This assertion is certainly true, but even the actions in the script often leave questions in the reader's mind. Still, a good read and certainly one I'd recommend.
