Synopsis
Gabriel's twin brother died long ago, but the boy still takes comfort in talking with him about his troublesome family situation. Gabriel lives with his promiscuous mother, who took a night job at the local pub after splitting with his highly irresponsible rock guitarist father. Into Gabriel's stormy adolescent world comes a wealthy rock star named Lester Jones, who tries to help Gabriel cope, and to realize his own dream of becoming an artist.

Industry Reviews
"Pleasant frivolities, with just a refreshing dash of cynicism and attitude."
Kirkus Reviews (09/23/2001)

"The narration is brisk, the language tepid, the humor tending to the puerile....Kureishi can be a shrewd observer of contemporary London life, and his probing of modern discontents is often sharp and witty....[N]ow that he has turned to the kids of pop kids with GABRIEL'S GIFT, the result has more in common with juvenile fantasy literature than with grown-up novels."
New York Times Book Review - James Campbell (09/30/2001)

"For all his dark documentation of the urban British-Pakistani experience, Kureishi is basically an overgrown flower child--and a very funny one at that--who knows enough to temper any sledgehammered message with the nostalgic stylings of T. Rex and David Bowie. A spoonful of glam rock helps the politics go down; take away those politics, and you're left with GABRIEL'S GIFT, a sweet, flimsy novel about a family born, broken and redeemed by its collective love of pop music's ragged glory."
Washington Post Book World - Todd Pruzan (10/21/2001)
