Book

Join award-winning author Alan Hollinghurst, in conversation with Tom Crewe (The New Life), to celebrate his first novel in over a decade.

Our Evenings follows schoolboy Dave Win as he navigates theatre, class and sexuality, and offers a portrait of modern England through the lens of one man’s acutely observed and often unnerving experience.

Alan Hollinghurst is the author of several novels, including Booker Prize-winning The Line of Beauty; The Folding Star, which won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize; and the Somerset Maugham Award-winning The Swimming-Pool Library.

Chaired by Tom Crewe.
