Dave Cummings:

This isn't exactly what you requested, but I am hoping that it might help:

Mohanram, Radhika. "Postcolonial Spaces and Deterritorialized
(Homo)Sexuality: The Films of Hanif Kureishi."
	POSTCOLONIAL DISCOURSE AND CHANGING CULTURAL CONTEXTS: THEORY AND CRITICISM.
	Eds. Gita Rahan and Radhika Mohanram. Connecticut and London: Greenwood P,
1995. 117-34.

Best of luck,

Mark Groundland
