Getting addicted to your daily writings, so good to read you. Your mind, your attitude, your strength, your generosity, your brilliance and your sense of humor. You are ace. Much love.
So good to hear you have been able to glimpse a view from your window Hanif. Another adventure awaits you in the pool tomorrow! Reading your account of the beautiful people who have been attending to you calmly & quietly I am reminded of my visit to Florence back in the 90s. In those days Airtours offered day trips to European cities for £99! I recall the beauty of the buildings & squares along with several of The Davids... It was November & the city was gearing up for Christmas so the little shops were open. I remember standing inside the candlelit Duomo & hearing the slow steady footsteps of the police outside as they sauntered along the cobbled streets, their midnight blue capes shot with scarlet silk lining draped over one shoulder -effortlessly stylish...sending love & warm wishes for a restful evening Jane
Your honesty and humility are so beautiful to witness. I look forward to your daily writings. So glad the physiotherapists are working with you. It will get better.
I'm here, we're here. I can't turn away and am catching up on everything you've written thus far. Perhaps it is morbid curiosity, a human trait, or perhaps a bit of "there but for being a lucky bastard go I." I wonder what I would do, how would I react to this shattering of a life. Would I, could I, put it back into a form like Kintsugi, filling the cracks with gold, as you have? I wonder if I will die writing. Or perhaps singing. Wishing you a complete recovery, and soon.
I just began following you. I drink your words and send you large angel healing wings that envelop you and will you to move forward every day so you get better and better.
I just discovered you via the NYTimes article. I suspect I will be joining en mass later today. I am an american living in the Netherlands and your words about the ease for the entire country to learn english (which, of course, they already do) before I can learn dutch made me laugh from deep down. Stay strong, and please keep writing.

Powerful writings full of honesty, courage and inspiration. Typical Kureishi! I feel sure the physiotherapy will do wonders!
Hanif,
Your honesty and humility are so beautiful to witness. I look forward to your daily writings. So glad the physiotherapists are working with you. It will get better.

Greetings from Dublin I look forward to your words tomorrow 👍
We won't let you go, Hanif!
I've only just found you here, Hanif, though I've long relished your writing. We're here, listening and hoping.
Sir, maybe define cripple? As long as you write, cripple you are not. Fuerza.

Keep shining, Hanif! Your words are wondrous, funny, and wildly uplifting. You are not broken only temporarily indisposed. xoxoxo

Pools are magical places! Thanks to you … but also to Carlo for being a splendid son scribe.
