With VENUS, Hanif Kureishi turns his piercing gaze onto the pains
of old age. Maurice (Peter O'Toole) and Ian (Leslie Phillips) are
veteran stage actors whose slow, inevitable decline is disrupted by
the arrival in their lives of Ian's niece Jessie (Jodie Whittaker).
While Jessie's housekeeping skills make for a bone of contention
with Ian, Maurice finds himself attracted to her. Kureishi has
crafted a disturbing, wry and profoundly moving swansong for his
characters. Also included in this volume is an Introduction by
Kureishi in which he describes the inspiration he drew from the
Japanese master Tanizaki.
