Shattered
A memoir
SHORTLISTED FOR THE JAMES TAIT BLACK BIOGRAPHY AWARD 2025<BR><BR>From Hanif Kureishi, author of The Buddha of Suburbia, a memoir about the accident that left him paralysed.<BR><BR>'I've never felt tempted to use the word "inspirational" about a book, and promise I never will again, but it's the only word I can think of to describe Shattered' Lynn Barber, The Spectator<BR><BR>Imagine your life changing in a second: one minute you are watching the football with a beer, the next you are on the floor in a pool of blood, deprived of the use of your arms and legs. This fall renders you paralysed, robbed of your independence, entirely reliant on others for everything.<BR><BR>This happened to writer Hanif Kureishi on Boxing Day 2022. His account of what happened and its aftermath is a unique, riveting and frequently riotous account of a year-long odyssey home through five hospitals. From despair to hope, rage to courage, it might be the most truthful, and the funniest, medical disaster story ever written.<BR><BR>'Incredible. A remarkable tale of resilience - and surprisingly funny' iNews<BR><BR>'Heartbreaking. [A] masterpiece of British stoicism. Intimate, brave and uplifting' Independent<BR><BR>'Wildly inspiring. His singular voice, his bawdy humour, his efforts to create meaning, all so characteristic and moving' Guardian
