Gabriel`s Gift

Faber & Faber, 2002. Standard. Paperback. Very Good. Outline:- Gabriel`s father, a washed-up rock musician, has been chucked out of the house by Gabriel`s mother, who works nights and sleeps days. Lonely Gabriel finds solace in a mysterious connection to his deceased twin, Archie, and in his gift for producing real objects simply by drawing them. Then a chance visit with rock star Lester Jones, his father`s former band mate, provides Gabriel with a tool that might help mend his family. All he has to do is figure out how to use it. Hanif Kureishi portrays Gabriel`s naive hope and artistic aspirations with the same insight that he brought to the Anglo-Indian experience in The Buddha of Suburbia and to infidelity in Intimacy. Gabriel`s Gift is a tender meditation on failure, talent, and the power of imagination, and offers a humorous portrait of a generation that only started to think about growing up when its children did.-> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Faber & Faber The date of this copy is 2002 booksalvation have grade it as Very Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
