Winner of the Whitbread First Novel Award 'A wonderful novel. I doubt I will read a funnier one, or one with more heart, this year, possibly this decade.' Angela Carter, Guardian The hero of Hanif Kureishi's first novel is Karim, a dreamy teenager, desperate to escape suburban South London and experience the forbidden fruits which the 1970s seem to offer. When the unlikely opportunity of a life in the theatre announces itself, Karim starts to win the sort of attention he has been craving - albeit with some rude and raucous results. 'One of the best comic novels of growing up, and one of the sharpest satires on race relations in this country that I've ever read.' Independent on Sunday 'Brilliantly funny. A fresh, anarchic and deliciously unrestrained novel.' Sunday Times 'A distinctive and talented voice, blithe, savvy, alive and kicking.' Hermione Lee, Independent

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. We all know what suburbia is, indeed the majority of us live in it. Yet, despite this ubituity, with no formal definition of the contept, the suburbs have developed in our collective imagination through representations in popular culture, from Terry and June to Desparate Housewives. Rupa Huq examines how suburbia has been depicted in novels, cinema, popular music and on television, charting changing trends both in the suburbs and popular media consumption and production. She looks at the differences in defining suburbia in the US and UK and how characteristics associated with it have shifted in meaning and form.

The expansion of the suburban environment is a fascinating cultural development. In fact, the United States is primarily a suburban nation, with far more Americans living in the suburbs that in either urban or rural areas. Why were suburbs created to begin with? How do we define them? Are they really the promised land of the American middle class? The concept of space and how we create it is a concept that is receiving a great deal of academic attention, but no one has looked carefully at the suburban landscape through the lens of fiction and of film.

Sometimes a person emerges from American suburbia wild and a bit crazed and ready to do great and interesting things. Phil Irwin— iconoclastic musician, writer, and competitive chess player—is one of these people. He's written a “bad childhood” memoir that is sardonic, funny, sad, and unique. It is a coming-of-age story that paints a unique and compelling picture of post-hippie suburban America. The book is told in two parts. The first half is about Phil's life growing up as a brilliant but alienated youth trying to find his place in society; the second details his triumphant transformation into misanthropic rebel and affirmed alcoholic. In the first chapters Phil details his childhood as a self-described “egghead” and describes the various indignities he suffers in school and at the hands of his well-meaning but heavy-handed parents, religious fanatics for whom “Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child” is a favorite motto. In his early years Phil is a chess prodigy, and he describes that world—the various characters, the chess player's culture, his own arrogance as he begins to win, his idolization of Bobby Fischer, and his eventual triumph in adult tournaments. Being brilliant is more a curse than a blessing, however. He's so alienated at school that by the seventh grade he's already considering suicide. Discussing modern tragedies such as the Columbine shooting, Phil says: “If I had access to a gun, some kids would have possibly died…including me.”When Phil's parents send him to Christian Camp in an attempt to bring him around to their way of thinking, he decides he's had enough. Contrary to their wishes, he returns home an avowed atheist. The second part of the book begins with a school-sponsored trip to Europe, one which solidifies Phil's antisocial leanings. He is immersed in a world completely alien to his experience, a world where one can drink every day and where intellectual prowess is not considered a shortcoming. When he returns home he has decided to live life on his own terms, parents and society be damned. The final chapters detail Phil's humorous adventures in petty crime, wanton vandalism, cruel pranks, and massive imbibing in parks and graveyards with a number of fellow malcontents. The book ends with Phil about to graduate high school. He has mixed feelings: coming of age has left a bitter taste, but at least he's escaped the clutches of a wasted youth spent in COOKIELAND. It's an ending that is wistful, bittersweet, and optimistic.

During the last few decades suburbia has grown enormously and become a phenomenon attracting the attention of scholars as well as practitioners by whom it is seen as an increasingly significant and complex area of modern life. The essays in this volume consider a range of representations of suburban life from the late nineteenth century to the present day, including fiction, film, and popular music, drawn from America and Australia as well as Britain. They explore and challenge traditional views of suburbia so that, rather than a location of conformity and stereotypicality, it can be viewed as a site of social conflict, division, and ambiguity as well as a source of significant creativity across a range of cultural texts. The volume takes a thematic approach, considering the rise of suburbia, imagined and real suburbias, alternative suburbias: all of the essays have a strong historical dimension and the overall approach is characterized by interdisciplinarity. Roger Webster is Professor of Literary Studies and Director of the School of Media, Critical & Creative Arts, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool.
