Alan Hollinghurst: Our Evenings

  • The Old Museum 480 Gregory Terrace Bowen Hills Australia (map)

Presented by BRISBANE WRITERS FESTIVAL

One of the masters of modern fiction, Alan Hollinghurst has enthralled readers with his elegant and cutting examinations of life among England’s upper classes. The decade-spanning Our Evenings perfectly encapsulates a changing society through the prism of two very different men, one as lovable as the other is loathsome – a talented, mixed-race actor and an ambitious politician. 

Recalling his Man Booker Prize winning The Line of Beauty with its effortless melding of the personal and political, Our Evenings is another masterpiece from a preeminent prose stylist.
