In conversation with Alan Hollinghurst

Posted on 26 November 2024

On the 6th of November we were joined by Alan Hollinghurst, an author with an extraordinary talent for fusing past lives and experiences with contemporary concerns.

Acclaimed as one of Britain's finest living writers, Hollinghurst's journey began in Stroud, continued through his studies at Oxford, and led to a tenure at the Times Literary Supplement before he published his first novel, The Swimming-Pool Library, an insightful depiction of gay life in 1980s London.

In this session, Alan discussed his latest book, Our Evenings, which traces the journey of protagonist Dave Win from his boarding school childhood to his creative emergence in the world of experimental theatre, set against the evolving landscape of Britain.
