Alan Hollinghurst, the Booker Prize-winning author of The Line of
Beauty, brings us a dark, luminous and wickedly funny portrait of
modern England 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, from one of the finest
writers of our age.
Dave Win is thirteen years old when he first goes to stay with the
sponsors of his scholarship at a local boarding school. This weekend,
with its games and challenges and surprising encounters, will open up
heady new possibilities, even as it exposes him to their son Giles’
envy and violence.
As their lives unfold over the next half a century, the two boys’
careers will diverge dramatically: Dave, a gifted actor struggling with
convention and discrimination, Giles an increasingly powerful and
dangerous politician.
Our Evenings is Dave Win’s own account of his life as a schoolboy and
student, his first love affairs, in London, and on the road with an
experimental theatre company, and of a late-life affair, which
transforms his sixties with a new sense of happiness and a perilous
security.
