In these ten wry and exhilirating stories, Hanif Kureishi, author of “The Buddha of Suburbia, The Black Album,” and of the screenplays for “My Beautiful Laundrette, Sammy and Rosie Get Laid, London Kills Me,” and “My Son the Fanatic, brilliantly captures the passion and folly of the human comedy. Written over the span of a decade, “Love in a Blue Time” reveals the essence of a generation – from the liberating irreverence of the seventies to the dilemmas and disillusionments of the nineties.

The tale of the turd —
