"Before The Swimming-Pool Library, it didn't seem to me that Alan and being gay was particularly happy. A lot of it revolved around opera."Alan Jenkins on Alan Hollinghurst, The Guardian.
Alan H has a new novel out - The Stranger's Child - which neither you nor I shall ever read.
Mainly on account of him making even being cuntificated for the first time on Ecstasy sound as dull as being stuck at the bus-stop in the rain.
Still, I imagine his new book is verily packed with bourgeois fun.
Snore!

Just how boring are this chap's books then?
ReplyDeleteImagine two clackers slowly descending into a scrotum on a cold day, then minus it.
ReplyDeleteWithout the knackers.
That Boring. :(
I like him.
ReplyDeleteHave you read him?
ReplyDeleteA couple of his books, yes. I'm looking forward to it. Though he is obsessed with wealth and possessions, and some of his characters I wouldn't want to meet if they were real... I find his books very enjoyable to read.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of the books, but I thought the BBC adaptation of The Line of Beauty a few years back was very good.
