‘My Beautiful Laundrette’ screenwriter Hanif Kureishi suffers fall, may not walk or write again | Books and Literature News,The Indian Express

Kureishi was in the Italian capital at the time of the incident

“I have sensation and some movement in all my limbs, and I will begin physio and rehabilitation as soon as possible,” he tweeted from hospital today. “At the moment, it is unclear whether I will ever be able to walk again, or whether I’ll ever be able to hold a pen…”

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.”
