ALAN HOLLINGHURST: OUR EVENINGS
A tender portrait of an English life from the 60s to today
The seventh novel of beloved chronicler of English life Alan Hollinghurst, Our Evenings, takes a life span as its material.
From the perspective of late middle age, Dave Win relfects on his life, from his childhood through to the self-discovery of the theatre stage and his attempt to understand his Burmese heritage. As a delicate exploration of identity, race, class and sexuality over a lifetime, this novel hones the craft of one of the finest writers of our age with tenderness and pleasure.
Credited with bringing queer literatrue to the mainstream with his Booker Prize-winning A Line of Beauty, Alan reflects on the complexity of self-exploration with Georgina Godwin.
