In 1990, Mr Kureishi published one of his most famous works, The Buddha Of Suburbia, which won the Whitbread Award for the best first novel and was later adapted for a BBC television series with a soundtrack by David Bowie. Mr Kureishi's other screenplays include Sammy And Rosie Get Laid, London Kills Me, The Mother and Venus. 'I've had an operation on my spine and have shown minor improvements in the last few days.' As you can imagine, this is both humiliating, degrading and a burden for others. He continued: 'I cannot scratch my nose, make a phone call or feed myself. 'For a few days I was profoundly traumatised, altered and unrecognisable to myself. Mr Kureishi said his wife heard his 'frantic shouting', adding: 'She saved my life and kept me calm.
He added: 'It occurred to me then that there was no co-ordination between what was left of my mind and what remained of my body. He said he saw 'a scooped, semi-circular object with talons attached scuttling towards me' before realising it was his hand. 'I lent forward and put my head between my legs I woke up a few minutes later in a pool of blood, my neck in a grotesquely twisted position, my wife on her knees beside me,' Mr Kureishi added.
