MY REVOLUTIONS

1998. The Age of Radical Politics is over. The Age of Shopping has begun. Chris Carver, aka Michael Frame, is living the quiet suburban life when his revolutionary past comes back to haunt him. First, he glimpses a one-time lover he believes was killed thirty years earlier. Next, an encounter with an old acquaintance disquiets him. On the run again, he flashes back to life in the late ’60s—the people, the protests, the riots, the bombings, and his youthful gullibility. Golden Voice Simon Prebble provides insights into naïveté and wisdom in Kunzru’s outstanding exploration into the cyclical nature of idealism, revolution, betrayal, and change. Kunzru’s lyrical clarity gives Prebble’s artistry the chance to soar, his subtlety and finesse highlighting every vivid moment. Must listening. S.J.H.
