About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Live-streamed to Bendigo Library on our big screen.

A tender portrait of an English life from the 60s to today.

The seventh novel of beloved chronicler of English life Alan Hollinghurst, Our Evenings, takes a life span as its material.

From the perspective of late middle age, Dave Win reflects on his life, from his childhood through to the self-discovery of the theatre stage and his attempt to understand his Burmese heritage. As a delicate exploration of identity, race, class and sexuality over a lifetime, this novel hones the craft of one of the finest writers of our age with tenderness and pleasure.

Credited with bringing queer literature to the mainstream with his Booker Prize– winning A Line of Beauty, Alan reflects on the complexity of self-exploration with Georgina Godwin.

Alan Hollinghurst appears thanks to the support of the Cuffley Foundation.
