The Folding Star
Alan Hollinghurst
Alan Hollinghurst’s hypnotic and exquisitely written novel tells the story of Edward Manners, a disaffected 33-year-old who leaves England to earn his living as a language tutor in a Flemish city. Almost immediately he falls in love with 17-year-old Luc and is introduced to the twilight world of the 1890s Belgian painter Edgard Orst.
With this novel, Hollinghurst exposes us fearlessly to the consequences of unfulfillable, annihilating desire.
