Notes: Issued in 1990 Hanif Kureishi´s novel The Buddha of Suburbia has become a world-acclaimed masterpiece ever since. The author masterfully depicts the multiple cultural facets the London of his childhood had to offer and creates a plot replete with stories of ethnicity, class and gender. However, one element seems to be of peculiar importance in its reoccurring implementation within the story – music. This paper is intended to examine the element of music and attempts to determine the role it plays within the world Kureishi illustrates.
Keywords: experience, music, buddha, suburbia, Hanif Kureishi, Punk, London, 70s
