She saved all those young men She's doing our dirty work She's the only one who cares In London new clubs and restaurants were opening to sell-out crowds.
Soho was full of people making pop promos and commercials. Good newspapers and magazines were being started. Parts of London seemed gripped by money madness Sammy and Rosie Get Laid was an attempt to reflect the fragmentation of that time: a young affluent middle class with s values gentrifying working-class areas; riots and the creation of an unemployed and alienated underclass, necessitating the growth and increasing empowerment of the police; and a Third World Muslim whose country was being Westernized, coming to the West and being bewildered by the spiritual chaos he discovers.
In a journal about the making of Sammy and Rosie published in the same book, Kureishi writes, "I know now that England is primarily a suburban country and English values are suburban values. The best of that is kindness and mild-temperedness, politeness and privacy, and some rather resentful tolerance.

One can imagine a black man who is heroic or weak by white or black standards but not one who is independent of both standards: it may be then impossible to imagine a genuinely free black man, and that is very dangerous and very sad.

My love is wider, wider than Victoria Lake. My love is taller, taller than the Empire State.
