Robert Wilson is an aimless,chronically untruthful young Englishman who has passed
himself off as a Muslim in order to get a job at the newly established Wimbledon Independent Islamic Boys Day School.'East of Wimbledon' tells the hilarious story of his decline and fall.Utterly baffled by his headmaster,the eccentric Mr Malik,his girlfriend Maisie,and almost everything in Islamic culture,from the Koran,the meaning of a fatwah,or the mysterious revelation of the hidden 24th Imam,Robert demonstrates the failure of a post-colonial Briton to understand another great imperial culture that has absolutely no need of him.
