This groundbreaking, cross-generic collection is the first to
consider the entire breadth of Alan Hollinghurst's Booker
Prize-winning writing. Focused through the concept of influence,
the volume addresses critical issues surrounding the work of
Britain's most important contemporary novelist. It encompasses
provocative and timely subjects ranging from gay visual cultures
and representations, to Victorian, modernist and contemporary
literature, as well as race and empire, theatre and cinema, eros
and economics. The book reveals the fascinating intellectual and
affective matter that lies beneath the polished control and
dazzling style of Hollinghurst's work. Alongside contributions by
distinguished British and American critics, the book includes an
unpublished interview with Hollinghurst. Alan Hollinghurst: Writing
under the influence uses a creative range of critical approaches to
provide the most authoritative and innovative account available of
Hollinghurst's works. -- .
