Alan Hollinghurst: Why I Write Such Boring Books

"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!
