About this ebook

Omar is a restless young Asian man, caring for his alcoholic father in the hustling London of the mid-1980s. His uncle, a keen Thatcherite, offers Omar an entrepreneurial opportunity to revamp a dingy laundrette, and ambitious Omar rolls up his sleeves, enlisting the assistance of his old school-friend Johnny, who has since fallen in with a gang of neo-fascists. Omar and Johnny soon form an unlikely alliance that leads to business success, as well as other, more intimate surprises.

Mr. Kureishi is right. I loved comparing the script and the film. Also, many thanks to the publisher for making this script available online, even abroad. There's a lot that I don't understand in the film, and this script has given me some clarity. Thanks!
