travelbooks Compiled and written by KATJA PANTZAR Affairs of the heart FROM THE BRILLIANT playwright, screenwriter, novelist and filmmaker Hanif Kureishi comes his newest novel, Something to Tell You (Faber & Faber). Jamal is a successful middle-aged London psychoanalyst. As he reflects back on his youth in the 1970s, he is haunted by his first love and an act of violence that dramatically changed the course of his life and the lives of those around him. His past forms a backdrop to the drama that develops 30 years later, in the present day. In typical Kureishi style possibly his most famous work-to-date is My Beautiful Laundrette, his screenplay about a gay Pakistani-British boy growing up in London this novel is laden with the intrigue and sexual drama that human relationships are fraught with. Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Hanif Kureishi is the master of messy relationships. Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia is a work of non-fiction, but it covers some of the same territory as Kureishi's novel. As Gilbert deals with her past, present and ultimately, future relationships, she embarks on a journey of self-exploration. It all began when the American writer was in her early 30s. She seemingly had everything: a husband, a house, and a successful career. Yet, she was consumed with panic, grief and confusion. After a brutal divorce and a crushing bout of depression, Gilbert embarked on a year-long trip around the world with stints in Italy, India and Bali. In addition to discovering herself, she found love in the most unexpected place. And the result is a highly recommended, entertaining and candid journey through several cultures. Elizabeth Gilbert journeys to selfdiscovery and finds love.
