It’s 20 years since Alan Hollinghurst last appeared at Auckland Writers Festival Waituhi o Tāmaki as a freshly-minted Booker Prize winner for The Line of Beauty. The Stranger’s Child and The Sparsholt Affair followed to huge acclaim and his latest novel, Our Evenings, has had a rapturous reception from readers and critics alike. The Sunday Times declared it “the best novel that’s been written about contemporary Britain in the past 10 years”.
Getting there Te huarahi ki reira
