Gutter Bookshop are delighted to welcome author Alan Hollinghurst, the Booker Prize-winning author of The Line of Beauty, as he discusses his new book Our Evenings with Donald Clarke. Our Evenings is a dark, luminous and 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, from one of the finest writers of our age. Centered around the lives of two boys - Dave Win, as the recipient of a scholarship at his local boarding school and Giles, wealthy son of his sponsors. Encountering each other for the first time at aged 13 during a weekend visit to their home, Dave is exposed to 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. Our Evenings is Dave Win's own account of his life as a schoolboy and student, his first love affairs and career, and a late-life affair, which transforms his sixties with a new sense of happiness and a perilous security. Lauded as one of his finest novels to date, don’t miss this opportunity to hear Alan and journalist Donald Clarke explore the topics of the book in a live interview in the wonderful setting of Dublin’s Unitarian Church. Donald Clarke is the chief film correspondent, a feature writer and a regular columnist for The Irish Times. He is also a frequent contributor to RTÉ radio shows such as Arena and the Brendan O’Connor Show.
