This novel is totally deserving of the Booker prize though not for the faint of heart - not for the "gay fiction" label, but rather for its dense, rich and detailed narrative. Hollinghurst is a brilliant writer hands down. This is one of the best most engaging novels I have read in a long time. Hard going at times but the pay off is worth it.
