Yet Hounslow is about to become famous for another, similarly noisy local feature: a violent, hip-hop-infused, South Asian youth culture that is the subject of perhaps the year's most loudly hyped first novel.

Seeming to draw inspiration from “Fiddler on the Roof” at times and “The Great Gatsby” at others, “Playboy” idealizes youth and beauty while acknowledging the fleeting quality of the two. It does so with a flair for the fictional that is typical of its native Ireland; no matter what happens, the characters all prize a good story.All the actors really nail their roles; although the thick Irish accents of the cast make...
