Alan Hollinghurst’s first novel is a tour de force : a darkly erotic work that centres on the friendship of William Beckwith, a young gay aristocrat who leads a life of privilege and promiscuity, and the elderly Lord Nantwich, who is searching for someone to write his biography. (20050324)

评分文体和审美趣味上深得Wilde, Ronald Firbank和Forster真传,唯美主义、颓废主义倾向十分明显。作者通过富家公子William Beckwith的第一人称视角展现了八十年代、前艾滋病时期伦敦同性恋群体丰富多样的生活;同时引入Lord Nantwich这个角色,使Will得以重新审视个人成长、情感、家庭以及英国同性恋群体在不同时代的遭遇。这本书并不是广泛意义上供人消遣的同志小说,而是一本囊括了种族歧视、英国殖民史、同性恋亚文化、性少数群体受迫害史等诸多议题的严肃作品。即使面对当时更为保守的异性恋主流话语,Hollinghurst在这本处女作中毫不妥协、宣泄式地描写了英国男同性恋者们的情爱生活,包括对interracial gay sex的大胆描写,宣示了一种积极抗辩的姿态。
