Comment On Of Books Midnight all Day

Having read some of the previous reviews, I have to strongly disagree with some of the conclusions delivered. I wonder whether some of the other reviewers have actually read the book. There is certainly, in exception of 'The Penis' a strong theme of marital disharmony and infidelity. While none of the stories are action packed thrillers, they convey wonderfully the relentless mundanity and futility of daily life. Kureishi is unafraid to articulate the understandable fears of people as they

A brilliant chronicle of the lost, the lonely and the darkest parts of ourselves that we don't want to face. Overflowing with honesty and authenticity, this collection of short stories is consistently and uncomfortably believable.

After having been so underwhelmed with one of his previous novels, I'm still not quite sure why I picked up this collection of Kureishi's short fiction. His continual return to two-dimensional characters and obsession with extra-marital affairs inevitably involving neurotic women and their cool middle age male counterparts, is both laughably transparent and baffling.The final story in this collection was the only one even remotely worth spending time on; for all its incontiuity, as it is both

Loved it all the way, it was an inspiration. Kind of reminded me of Moravia though I read Moravia a long, long time ago so I cannot say for sure. Also brought Bergman to my mind. There is not too much action in the stories but then again I wrote my thesis about boredom, so I do not need much action to enjoy a book. The piece everyone seems to like the most- The Penis- I liked the least. Not that I have any problems with the subject, but I have just found it entirely forced and not fitting in the

Waste of time. Not really anything uplifting in these stories or even characters to be liked. Why was this even published?

This was ok. Some short stories struck more of a chord than others but overall I couldn't recommend it.

I loved most of this book. Kureishi is an insightful yet separate and somewhat condemning observer of people, relationships, power, motivation, lust, and aging. The final comedic story, The Penis, seemed an odd counterpoint to the rest of these short stories with their dramatic and emotional meditations on beginnings, endings and transition. It was so bizarre it almost overshadowed the whole book like being slapped with an upbeat commercial after watching a proper film.
