Hanif Kureishi

So it was a very strange period because, you know, I was completely done for alone, lying in hospital full of drugs and tubes. And my material was going very quickly around the world and increasing numbers of people were interested in what I was saying. And that really cheered me up. You know, I had something to do.

I had a platform, and I was back as a writer, which is what I am, which secures my identity.

What I was doing was writing the blogs in my head. You described the nights very accurately, but what I was doing, I could write the paragraph and then another paragraph and another paragraph, and I could hold it in my head and try and remember.

the blog until the next day when I would see someone who would then commit it to paper so that that was kept me going that was an interesting thing to do for me to to start not only to write about my present life but of course lying in bed for so long as you describe you obsess about things but thinking about my childhood about my parents about growing up and my reading and anything that occurred to me and I could put it in a blog and then publish it the next day

I think what you say is very interesting because a baby is a tyrant.

I remember a phrase from some writer or another who says, the fascist face of the baby. I've had three babies, and I can tell you that there are times when they are like fascists, when they overwhelm you. And then suddenly I was in that situation again. I was helpless in bed. I couldn't. feed myself, brush my teeth or do anything. I was entirely dependent on other people.

And I hated being so dependent. And the only way I could ever get anything done was to ask someone to do something for me, you know. And that's my situation now. Today I'm in that situation. And I hate it and I resent it. I want to, you know, get up and make my own tea and breakfast, you know. So I suddenly became aware of that in order to get anything done, I had to demand things.

I have to ask people to do things for me. And it's embarrassing to have to do that all the time. If I'm in my kitchen and Isabella is cooking and then she does the shopping and then she has to feed me, then she has to wash up, there's nothing I can do to help her and it's shameful and embarrassing.
