Title: Less than blown away
Review: I loved Kureishi's "Buddha of Suburbia" and enjoyed "the Black Album" but "Intimacy" failed to leave any lasting impression on this reader. Other readers praise the book as offering some great insight into the male psyche, yet, as a male I found it hard to relate to the novel's self-indulgent narrator. I want to state, for the record, that not all men feel they'd drown their wives and children for the sake of great sex. "Intimacy" is however a somewhat compelling book and Kureishi is definitely a wordsmith. Read "Buddha" way before you go for "Intimacy".
