“My Revolutions” by Hari Kunzru

Read from September 2009 to November 2009

My Revolutions by Hari Kunzru is a fictional story of one man coming to terms with his rebellious coming-of-age in London in the 1960s. The book is truly historical fiction, with historical accuracy for the events described. However, since I have not studied that part of European history I wasn’t familiar with it.

Overall the writing is easy to follow and the story unfolds reasonably quickly. The narrative is told through a series of flashbacks which work reasonably well. I found the story enjoyable and learned a bit about the undercurrents of revolution in the 1960s in London. A valuable read for Kunzru fans.
