What is the author's style in The Buddha of Suburbia by Hanif Kureishi?

The language of the book tends to be informal. The construction of the sentences is lax and riddles with period slang. Although some of the slang terms may be unfamiliar to the reader, in context they do not hinder comprehension. In fact, the language adds a layer of style to the novel that allows greater development of the characters and draws the reader into the world of the novel.
