Alan Hollinghurst is an English novelist, and winner of the 2004 Booker Prize for The Line of Beauty.
He read English at Magdalen College, Oxford graduating in 1975; and subsequently took the further degree of Master of Literature (1979). While at Oxford he shared a house with Andrew Motion, and was awarded the Newdigate Prize for poetry in 1974, the year before Motion.
In the late 1970s he became a lecturer at Magdalen, and then at Somerville College and Corpus Christi College, Oxford. In 1981 he moved on to lecture at University College London. In 1997, he went on an Asia book tour in Singapore.
In 1981 he joined The Times Literary Supplement and was the paper's deputy editor from 1982 to 1995.
He lives in London.
In the summer of 1983, twenty-year-old Nick Guest moves into an attic room in the Notting Hill home of the Feddens: conservative Member of Parliament Gerald, his wealthy wife Rachel, and their two children, Toby-whom Nick had idolized at Oxford-and Catherine, highly critical of her family's assumptions and ambitions. As the boom years of the eighties unfold, Nick, an innocent in the world of politics and money, finds his life altered by the rising fortunes of this glamorous family. His two vividly contrasting love affairs, one with a young black clerk and one with a Lebanese millionaire, dramatize the dangers and rewards of his own private pursuit of beauty, a pursuit as compelling to Nick as the desire for power and riches among his friends. Richly textured, emotionally charged, disarmingly comic, this U.K. bestseller is a major work by one of our finest writers.

文中提起兩次的車牌號“WHO 6”應該是who sex的諧音吧?和腳注中的世界衛生組織貌似沒什麼關係 另:有人知道另一個車牌NG2485有什麼意義嗎? 抱歉,你的評論太短瞭抱歉,你的評論太短瞭抱歉,你的評論太短瞭抱歉,你的評論太短瞭抱歉,你的評論太短瞭
評分長得越大,越不容易入心。 從16歲到24歲,好像整個審美觀都沒有長進。先是日本,後是英國。而這兩者其實也沒有本質的差彆,同是島國,同悶騷,同不留齣口。 最近看畢的《never let me go》,不甘心而看瞭第二遍,仍然淚流不止,因它設定太過狡詐,根本沒有退路可言;這同我看...

評分其實我看所有原文書都有一個毛病:我不確切我看懂瞭沒。這部屬於比較難啃的,諷刺政治弊病的部分完全雲裏霧裏,同性戀情又模模糊糊。Anyway,還是推薦一個,總會有人看得懂~
評分太長瞭...讀的時候恰好看到瞭討厭的人的美麗麯綫。大倒胃口...
