Recensione:
Hanif Kureishi's short, sharp tale of revenge is diabolical fun (Fiona Wilson The Times 2017-04-29)
Hanif Kureishi delivers a monstrous three-hander in this novel of a frail film director (GQ Magazine 2017-06-01)
A punchy, disturbing fable. (Alex Clark Guardian)
This slight addition to the Hanif Kureishi canon, by turns funny, farcical, and disquieting, is set in the twilight years of celebrated director Waldo. (John Harding Daily Mail 2017-05-05)
Waldo's imaginative life in The Nothing may be destructive, but his creator's is as nourishing as ever. (Maggie Fergusson Newsweek 2017-05-12)
Admirers of his earlier fiction will be happy to learn that his appetite for sexual riffs, describing sucking and rimming, or anatomising "the humiliation of desire" has not abated. But London, the alluring setting of The Buddha of Suburbia (1990), is no longer a source of wonder. "I preferred the soot-black, more derelict London, which had some sublimity in its post-war despair," bemoans Waldo. Death and dolefulness permeate every page, but so does a pleasingly lubricious impishness. (Sukhdev Sandu Observer 2017-05-07)

The Nothing is Hanif Kureishi's powerful new work: a tense and captivating exploration of lust, helplessness, and deception.
