Kureishi’s memoir, Shattered, poses the profound question of identity post-disability, exploring the complexities of being a Paki, a writer, and a cripple.
Throughout his year-long ordeal, Kureishi dictated dispatches reflecting both despair and humor, demonstrating how writing can be an essential tool for coping with life-altering events.
Despite facing the irreversible horrors of paralysis, Kureishi infuses his narrative with wit, suggesting that humor remains vital even when confronting disaster and loss.
Shattered serves as a dual exploration of personal catastrophe and the broader implications of identity, as Kureishi wrestles with who he has become after his accident.
