Alan Hollinghurst: Our Evenings

The festival is delighted to welcome Alan Hollinghurst, whose latest novel is Our Evenings, a dark, luminous and wickedly funny portrait of modern England told through the lens of one man's acutely observed and often unnerving experience.  It is a story of race and class, theatre and sexuality, love and the cruel shock of violence. 

Alan will be in conversation with Professor John Mullan, who is head of the English department at UCL.

'The best novel that's been written about contemporary Britain in the past ten years.' - Sunday Times
