My Son the Fanatic

His unwavering faith and the father's growing suspicion created a tense dynamic. How did others interpret their clash of values?

The dialogue-driven format makes the characters' tensions so immediate. I wonder if Hanif Kureishi considered other formats or if this was always the plan.

His growing paranoia felt very real but also made me uneasy, especially in how it reflected broader societal fears. Did others feel the same?
