Inhalt
Alan Hollinghurst, Booker Prize winner, brings a 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. 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.- This novel is Dave Win's own account of his life as a schoolboy and student, his first gay love affairs, in London, and on the road with an experimental theatre company, and of a late-life affair, which transforms his 60s with a new sense of happiness and a perilous security.
