It’s the racist algorithm by the ‘powers that be’. They want the voices they choose to promote.

He's not that great, that's why. Always writes about race, religion, race, religion. Boring.

[@4Humanity2869]

@@WillScarlet1991 he is a GREAT writer... an Oscar Nominee with many great books to his name. You stick to The Beano and the Dandy. This is about literature - it requires intelligence.

@@4Humanity2869 He's boring as I said. Even his family thinks he's a piss-poor writer.

[@4Humanity2869]

@@WillScarlet1991 His family have their own problems and btw thats their ‘private business’. As Hanif says himself ‘Writers are trouble’. What do you know about literature? You sound like a below average intelligence person. Hanif Kureishi speaks of our times. He has great insight into todays life in Britain and he was first in bringing light onto the extremism that pervades our World. He was a writer that inspired me to pursue my art so don’t talk about things or art that you know nothing about. The BBC are currently showing The Buddha of Suburbia on iPlayer… a superb 4 part drama written by Kureishi.
