...First, he had to prepare the Ebertians for his depleted appearance. "To paraphrase a line from Raging Bull, I ain't a pretty boy no more," he wrote in a pre-festival note on his website. "What happened was, cancer of the salivary gland spread to my right lower jaw. A segment of the mandible was removed. Two operations to replace the missing segment were unsuccessful, both leading to unanticipated bleeding. A tracheostomy was necessary so, for the time being, I cannot speak.

This is a boy who kisses the Koran before wishing for a ZX Spectrum computer, and was so innocent in adolescence that he thought a "blue movie" was one that made you cry. When he and his best friend, a Sikh, head off to their first Springsteen concert, they go armed with the vegetable samosas and chapatis their mothers have cooked...
