Alan Hollinghurst was born in 1954. He is the author of one of the most highly praised first novels to appear in the 1980s, The Swimming-Pool Library, and was selected as one of the Best of Young British Novelists 1993. His second novel, The Folding Star, won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and was shortlisted for the 1994 Booker Prize. His novel The Line of Beauty won the Booker Prize in 2004. His most recent novel, The Sparsholt Affair, was published in 2017.
Hollinghurst's novel centres on the lives of four gay men. The characters move between the drug-taking world of the London club scene and a would-be pastoral idyll. This captures perfectly what it is like to be passionately in love, and the fragility of homosexual relationships. Both gently comic and serious. (Kirkus UK)
