The Line of Beauty @almeida.co.uk Directed by Michael Grandage, adapted from the book by #AlanHollinghurst

There is a rise of bigotry and absolutely no change over the decades in elitism and the “old boys network” of privilege. Outstanding and moving. #HIV #AIDS #1980s #Almeida #londontheatre ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Review: The Line of Beauty, at Almeida Theatre Mesmerising coming-of-age tale is an evocative portrait of Thatcher’s Britain

I loved #JackHolden's adaptation of The Line of Beauty by #AlanHollinghurst - Beautifully cast & brilliantly directed by #MichaelGrandage Herewith my 5* review for @islingtontrib.bsky.social @almeida.co.uk til Nov 29. www.islingtontribune.co.uk/article/revi...

The Line of Beauty, Almeida Theatre review - the 80s revisited in theatrically ravishing form Alan Hollinghurst's 2004 novel The Line of Beauty finds a distinct beauty all its own in this long-awaited Almeida Theatre premiere, the play's linearity a decided jolt after the more jagged new writi...

★★★★ THE LINE OF BEAUTY #AlmeidaTheatre - #AlanHollinghurst novel is cunningly filleted, very finely acted, revisiting the 80s in theatrically ravishing form - review by Matt Wolf theartsdesk.com/theatre/line...

Übrigens wäre #AlanHollinghurst heute eine Wahl, die selbst etwas von guter Literatur hätte: im ersten Moment überraschend, dann sofort frappierend überzeugend.

Our Evenings, Alan Hollinghurst

From the Booker Prize–winning author comes the story of Dave Win, navigating privilege, prejudice, queer love, and art across decades of British life. A sweeping, tender portrait of one man’s journey.

💙📚 Recently finished #TheSwimming-PoolLibrary #AlanHollinghurst Two-and-a-half out of four stars (not a very likeable main character, too hedonistic and not enough to redeem him imho). Might recommend. This was a reread for me so will probably not read again. "I came home on the last train." more ⬇️

Recently finished #We'llPrescribeYouACat #SyouIshida Two-and-a-half out of four stars. Might recommend. Might read again. "Shuta Kagawa stood at the end of a shadowy alley, gazing up at a multipurpose building." Continuing with: #TheSwimming-PoolLibrary #AlanHollinghurst

An amazing reading month. I can't recommend these highly enough. Three of them made me cry (see if you can guess which ones), and I don't cry easily. Thank you #AlanHollinghurst @marnieriches.bsky.social #elizabethstrout #colmtoibin #robertseethaler #jessicaanyablau #booksworthreading #bookstagram

Just finished #OurEvenings by #AlanHollinghurst and had a little cry. A lovely letter to a gay son and his mother. And what it means to love, and to grow old. Beautifully crafted writing. #BobReads #GayFiction

I just finished this - probably his best book (I've read all of them). I loved how much it reminded me of Iris Murdoch's writing (and I know he's a fan of hers). There's so much I want to say but instead of my words, read his own:

Smith, while queer, doesn’t always focus on sapphic affairs tho. So a sapphic love story:

An Exquisite Queer Odyssey by a Literary Master In Alan Hollinghurst’s new novel, “Our Evenings,” a Burmese English actor grapples with race and ambition, sexuality and love in a bigoted world.

Loving Alan Hollinghurt's OUR EVENINGS. I'm 1/10 of the way through and more engaged by this story than any of his novels since THE LINE OF BEAUTY.

An excerpt from Alan Hollinghurst’s Our Evenings, in which a young boy coming to terms with his queerness quietly realizes that his mother is in a lesbian relationship: “Mum and Esme kept separate addresses until I left school, and then, much as conscientious parents delay a divorce for the sake of the children, they did the opposite, and moved in together.”

The wordless coming out between a mother and her son in the early 1960s. I’m going to miss this book so much.
