Dear followers,
I should like you to know that on Boxing Day, in Rome, after taking a comfortable walk to the Piazza del Popolo, followed by a stroll through the Villa Borghese, and then back to the apartment, I had a fall.

Kureishi’s wife, Isabella d’Amico, was with him when he fell. He has asked his followers for any voice-assisted devices that may allow him “to watch, write and begin work again, and continue some kind of half life.”
