Books of 1916: Part One 2016 was a tough year in many ways, so may I introduce you to 1916? I think you’re going to love 1916. I was struck by something I read in a (very nice) review of one of the books of 1916: —“because anything first published in 1916 that does not contain a word or thought ...
This book is extremely good written. Very erotic and very gay-ish. It could have had 50 pages less or 100 pages more, it wouldn't have had any influence on the storyline.(What a storyline?!)It doesn't have a typical beginning, culminating and ending.Here the journey itself is a destination.

Hollinghurst's gay protagonist, Nick Guest, more or less ingenuously follows his sexual and aesthetic inclinations, which lead him, somewhat incongruously, into the house of Tory MP Gerald Fedden, the arms of a Lebanese millionaire's son, and finally personal disaster and tragedy.
