Alan Hollinghurst in Conversation with Tash Aw

The Booker Prize-winning author of The Line of Beauty, Alan Hollinghurst, comes to Foyles for the London launch of his latest beautifully-wrought portrait of modern Britain, Our Evenings, in a discussion with novelist Tash Aw.

An acutely-observed story of one man’s journey from adolescence through to later life, from boarding school to the theatre world, and a sweeping chronicle of an ever-changing Britain, Our Evenings is a moving and intricate novel from one of our finest writers.

Alan Hollinghurst is the author of seven novels, The Swimming-Pool Library, The Folding Star, The Spell, The Line of Beauty, The Stranger’s Child, The Sparsholt Affair and Our Evenings. He has received the Somerset Maugham Award, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction and the 2004 Man Booker Prize. He lives in London.

Tash Aw is the author of four novels, including, most recently, We, the Survivors, and a memoir of a Chinese-Malaysian family, Strangers on a Pier. His work has won the Whitbread and Commonwealth Prizes, an O. Henry Award and twice been longlisted for the Man Booker Prize. His fiction has been translated into 23 languages. He is a regular contributor to the New York Times, the Guardian and the New York Review of Books.

This event will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Doors will open from 6:45pm.
