Alan Hollinghurst

With a narrative that stretches over seven decades, the new novel from Alan Hollinghurst (waterstones.com/author/alan-hollinghurst/136681) doesn’t just give us the intimate details of a man’s life, but allows us to see the shifting tectonics of Britain’s social and political landscape from the 1960s to the present day. We sat down with the author to discuss boarding schools, an actor’s life, and the brutal power of micro-aggressions.
