My Beautiful Laundrette and the Rainbow Sign by Hanif Kureishi

3.0

Though I have taken out a copy of the book "My Beautiful Laundrette and the Rainbow Sign' I commenting specifically on "The Rainbow Sign". Kureishi's world is one that I have hardly delved into during my literary adventures. Kureishi describes his own experience as a "Paki" not to be confused with a "Pakistani" in this short autobiographical story. I enjoyed it for what it was; a short story. Do not be deterred by the lack of stars; this story was not my kettle of fish, but the language and the style is one that I truly admire. The subtle humor and wit is something that not many authors are able to master, but Hanif Kureishi has done it with experience and taste.
